One of the early questions I ask a new client is, "where are you hoping this relationship will take you?". For some, the answer to this question is clear. They imagine a life where their anxiety or depressive symptoms no longer get in the way of attending school or work, spending time with friends and enjoying their days. Others hope for a time when they feel physically and emotionally well enough to enjoy each day. Many people struggle with a vision for their future. Often, the path behind us is full of wrong turns or the path ahead feels full of obstacles. Regardless of where you are, I will join with you and support your journey.

Are you a new parent or preparing for a new baby and wondering how you are going to adjust to the new normal with your worries or depressed mood? Do you currently struggle with anxiety or depression and wonder how the new baby's arrival might impact your moods and well-being? Are you struggling to feel connected with your little one? Do you feel more irritable, frustrated and unhappy more than you thought you would feel during this phase of your life?

I help people who are feeling depressed, feel less depressed. I understand how uncomfortable it can be to feel stuck in depression. Are you having trouble sleeping, eating too little, or too much? Hiding how you really feel inside, not wanting others to know? Others say you have so much to be thankful for, but you just feel guilty and ashamed that you’re not able to feel that way; forcing a smile, but not feeling it inside? There is always a reason for the way we feel, and I can help you figure out what is really going on inside of you. Together we can figure out some ways to help you feel relief.

Whether you're struggling with a particular issue, or just can't shake the feeling there should be more to life, I can help. I work with people who are tired of being stuck going around in circles, who are open to learning what steps to take to get their relationships back on track, and who are ready to keep their life moving in a positive direction.

I am currently accepting clients on a waitlist for June; please email me if you are interested and we can meet for a free video consult. I love working with people who are seeking growth and self-understanding. Therapy is hard work! It pushes us to see things in new ways, to explore feelings and behavior patterns. And, hopefully, it leads to feeling healthier and more connected to ourselves and our needs and in our relationships. I approach therapy from a holistic and integrative perspective--I believe well-being is influenced and impacted by many factors including physical health, genetics, personality, and life experiences.

My work with children and families is based on building safe, supportive relationships. I carefully consider individual, couple and family strengths and needs, providing therapeutic direction based upon this. A combination of child development, mindfulness, and family systems informs my work. I use play therapy, sandtray, narrative-storytelling tools, practical skill building, arts, and parent coaching in my practice. The power of relationships and the recognition of one's strengths are emphasized throughout our work together.

There are many approaches to addressing the state of life we find ourselves living in. I practice holistic integrative care that addresses the whole person - mind, body, spirit. Healing is a journey, in which I offer support by creating, establishing and maintaining open and direct relationships with clients. My goal is to assist in bringing balance, and restoring energy and passions through traditional therapies or energy based interventions. My focus is to help individuals, couples and families acknowledge the strengths they have and to bring relief to defeating beliefs and behaviors.

I like to offer my clients an opportunity to choose from an office visit to a walk and talk at a nearby trail or park. Through my research I have found that clients with difficulties like depression and anxiety respond best to treatment in the great outdoors.

You’ve been struggling emotionally for a while now. Perhaps you've been feeling more stressed, struggling with relationships and/or friendships, work and/or school has been more difficult lately, and you are not able to cope effectively with all that is going on. You want to feel better, and you also want to be able to combat similar struggles if they arise in the future. The power of connecting with a counselor is important to you. Together, we will make the journey to improving your mental wellness. I offer both in-office and home-based services.

My work is grounded in meeting individuals, children and their families wherever they are at. I believe through a safe and supporting relationship, change, healing and growth can happen. I enjoy working with the littlest members of your family to the oldest. I am specialized in areas around early parenting, which include perinatal, postpartum, young children and families. I am here to support you when becoming pregnant and a parent and through all the many challenges of this period. I am passionate about helping parents become the parent they dreamed of becoming and parents and children feel connected to one and other.

Is your child overly worried or fearful? Do you have a stressed out teen who is struggling with change? Are you an overwhelmed parent in need of new strategies and a confidence boost? As a licensed clinical psychologist, I am dedicated to improving the lives of children/adolescents, young adults, and families with compassionate, supportive, and evidence-based therapy and parent coaching. Our solution-focused sessions will look at what is working well for you now and how to make changes to thoughts, behaviors, coping skills, and relationships in order to feel better and stay better.

You are struggling, and have no one to turn to. You have come here seeking solutions, and I can help you find them. Sometimes life does not go the way we planned, or the way we wanted. Whether it's illness, depression, anxiety, doubt, grief, or shame, the end of a relationship, an engagement or marriage, the loss of a loved one, the birth of a child, or the achievement of a long-term goal, I can help you remove the roadblocks and get back on the path to your best life.

On the outside you're trying to keep it all together. On the inside you're falling apart. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, and everything is a struggle. No matter what you do it's never good enough. You're tired of feeling tired and ready for change. I specialize in helping people struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. This may show up in your life as low self-esteem, difficulty staying motivated, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions. You've taken a big step in looking for help. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important part.

Bad things have happened to you and you wonder if life will ever get better. You desperately want happiness, but it always feels out of reach. You feel irritable and overwhelmed by worries and your relationships are suffering because others just don’t get it. You're trying to hold it together, doing the best you can, but you feel like it's never good enough. You can’t stop thinking about the past even though you try. You wish you could just "get over it", you're angry that you can't, and you're wondering if you'll ever feel normal. More than anything you want to feel connected to others and start feeling excited about life!

You want more out of life. Maybe you want to be more happy or less anxious or maybe you want a better quality of life or to grow in a new direction. It can be confusing because your life is not miserable but it just isn't what you hoped for. You gave and you continue to give but you're just not feeling the joy. Its starting to get you down and you find yourself escaping to Facebook and Instagram or getting lost in another Netflix series because you're bored or maybe it helps you mange the anxiety that pushes into your throat when you actually sit and think about where you are, how you got here and where you are going (or not going).

Do you have intrusive thoughts or worries, or maybe unexplainable urges or images that seem to come out of nowhere, are repetitive, that are stuck in your mind and cause significant distress and anxiety, and sometimes shame because of the themes? Are these obsessive thoughts, images or urges unwanted and continue to exist even though you know they are irrational, causing you to doubt yourself? Do you feel compelled to perform repetitive behaviors or mental rituals in order to decrease the anxiety and distress caused by the obsessions? If so, you may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
