I’m a counselor who takes a playful, interpersonal, brain-based approach to helping children and families overcome challenges. I want to help children and families find the skills they need to manage the physiological effects of stress in challenging moments. I believe that parent involvement is the most significant driving force in helping children better manage big emotions. I take a collaborative approach in working with parents and children. Together, we will explore the underlying challenges that are impacting behavior, rather than focusing on behavior alone.

**PROVIDING DAYTIME HOURS STARTING MARCH, 2023 - Virtual and in office** Trying to cope and not knowing how is challenging. Especially if you feel down or there are difficult circumstances in your life. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, or grief, we can explore your feelings and ways to improve your coping and outlook. Many of our coping mechanisms today started in dysfunctional childhoods which have held traumas - big or small. And the way we cope now is directly tied to those traumas we felt as children. I understand and want to help. Now using EMDR and emotional parts' work.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the direction of your life? Therapy can be a valuable tool in gaining clarity and making positive changes. Together, we can explore and address the obstacles that may be hindering you from fully embracing life, and work towards reducing the stress you are experiencing.

Disconnection between you and what you want for yourself, or between you and someone you love, can be sad, lonely, frightening, incredibly frustrating - and even paralyzing at times. You don’t have to face this alone.

I enjoy working with adults, individually and as couples in addressing a wide range of issues. We will explore your family of origin as you gain greater insight into life schemas and patterns and develop coping strategies and communication skills. Substance abuse and dependency and domestic violence fall under my areas of expertise as well. I use trauma informed approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, dbt, talk therapy and somatic therapy.

Not accepting new clients at this time. Are you looking for a better way? As we work together, you can optimize the strengths you already possess, develop insight, and learn techniques that can help you heal yourself and nurture your relationships. The goal of therapy is to begin to see yourself and others in new and more productive ways. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and teens (from the age of 15) of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and interests. Often, work with teens will include some level of interaction with caregivers so that constructive adjustments can be made and sustained.

Are you a conscientious adult taking excellent care of everyone and everything, while privately shouldering devastating pain & loss? Do you live with a second-guessing brain with no off switch, or intense uncertainty while standing at a crossroads? Hiding it can leave you feeling disconnected and aching for comfort. With me, you will find a safe haven - a place to show up exactly as you are. You will find a partner to help guide you to new and better possibilities. We can start today: getcnconnected.com

Life is full of chaos and uncertainty right now. It may have brought you anxiety, worries, sadness and grief. You may have had to deal with many life changes, ones that you want and ones that you don't want. It makes sense to feel off, overwhelmed, and like you lost your footing. We all need a safe space to process our experience and take a moment to breathe, regroup and learn how to adapt to life’s challenges. Clients come to me to feel seen, heard and sort through what is happening for them. They have overcome challenges in life and now want to find peace and healing. They want to be confident, calm, and true to themselves.

My mission is to help you to explore your life experience, to come to better know your true self, and to become empowered to enjoy your best possible quality of life. Realizing and building upon inner strengths - and courageously working through difficulties within the safety of a therapeutic relationship - are important to this process. I work in a primarily psychodynamic, integrative way based upon each person's individual needs and goals, whether related to relationships, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, identity, life transitions, somatic symptoms, ADHD, problematic or self-defeating behaviors, or other issues.

*Not accepting new clients. Extended leave 'til late 2024* Life can be challenging as we navigate an ever winding path. Determining which choice to make is not always clear. My goal is to provide you with a safe, compassionate and empathic environment to explore your problems, working collaboratively toward finding your best self. I have spent the past 11 years working with adolescents and families to learn new techniques to handle life’s twists and turns, while healing from past traumas. I work with individuals and families to explore together ways to improve strengths and overcome deficits to learn new ways to cope with the world.

Everyone has a story to tell. Our life experiences make our ever-evolving story unique. And sometimes, those experiences are painful… Broken relationships that we fought hard to keep together. Hating the person we see when we look in the mirror. Constantly comparing our failures to others who seem to have it all together. It’s just one disappointing chapter after another.

Come in and talk in a relaxed, private setting about anything that is weighing on your mind and holding you back from the life you deserve. We'll work together on real strategies for coping with and resolving your unique issues.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, worried or stressed out? Are you having difficulties with relationships in your life with your child or spouse? There are times when we go through challenges in life, and at those times we can lose sight of how to move forward. My specialties are helping people feel better about themselves, improving their relationships, and making progress in their lives. I want to make you feel comfortable enough to explore the issues that are important to you and work together to create changes that will last!

Sometimes, we just need more support to feel our best and you deserve to feel fulfilled and empowered to live your best life. A lot of us have experienced a traumatic event, a crisis or unpleasant experiences that may be responsible for ongoing anxiety and depressive symptoms. Everyday life stressors, anxiety, distress, and depression can be very difficult to manage on your own. I am passionate about helping others to feel their best, learn REAL skills that will help reduce these negative symptoms so you can feel empowered and free to move forward with living a fulfilling life.

Life is challenging. Directly confronting those challenges in a supportive space is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. I have 10+ years experience guiding clients as they examine the factors contributing to the anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and stress in their lives. In that process we work together to focus on the coping skills and solutions that lead to greater life satisfaction. I am passionate about helping clients achieve greater confidence, self-awareness and balance through authentic and connected living.

I am a relationship specialist. Whether it's an affair, broken communication, lost intimacy, safety, or trust, or simply a desire to recover your connection, I help couple's find a path to get there. One of the bigger challenges of modern couple’s therapy is translating what happens in the therapy office to home. Inspired therapy doesn’t often equal change, it offers fleeting insights. Giving couples the tools to take home and transfrom their relationship, is the real work. I’ve developed an effective process to deliver those tools, and then nurture it with skill building. I also offer post-divorce and couples recovery counseling.

Life can be difficult and no one gets by without some pain at different points in their life. I work with individuals, couples and families to identify and change how they are interacting to achieve better relationships and outcomes-to help you lead happier, healthier, more contented lives. I enjoy working with people on the myriad of issues during the course of a relationship and family life-in life in general. I'm also dedicated to working with addictions issues and recovery from any addiction. Let's meet and discuss how we can work together to meet your goals.

Have past therapies not worked and are you back to dealing with the same patterns that cause you to feel disconnected? Using the modalities of Relational Life Therapy and the Enneagram, a typology tool, I help you deal with those parts of you that don't want to do the skills you have learned in other therapies. My approach is compassionate and honest with the intention of helping you become mindfully aware of those parts of you that keep you stuck and frustrated in order to guide you towards improved self-awareness and a more fulfilling life of connection, understanding, and love.

Struggling with Anxiety, Depression, feelings of shame or inadequacy? Maybe you have difficulty connecting to others, creating healthy boundaries, or trusting after a relationship ended painfully. Does fear of failure keep you from trying something you've desired or from reaching your full potential. I've helped many clients experiencing these difficulties, get "unstuck", heal, and move forward with more peace, joy, confidence, and purpose. Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important ingredient in successful therapy and that each unique person engaging in the process is deserving of attuned connection.
