Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling to get through the day, or emotional for no reason? I can help you find clarity and support you on your wellness journey. I believe in creating a safe nonjudgemental space allowing the client to reflect and make adjustments that will allow them to flourish. Each client is unique and I consider the whole person during counseling sessions. I strive to collaborate with my client to create a plan to help them achieve their goals. In sessions, we reflect on past experiences and explore current emotions. I also teach my clients strategies and coping skills to handle difficult situations.

I offer family therapy for children/adolescents and their guardians, as well as individual therapy for adolescents and adults. I specialize in working with families struggling with grief/loss, communication issues, behavioral problems, anger management, trauma/abuse and/or parent-child conflict. Family sessions may be most helpful to parents who feel stuck in their ability to communicate with their loved ones and are willing to work on addressing the problem in a collaborative environment. I view problems through the lens of a systemic perspective, taking into account the how a person's environment(s) may be affecting the problem.

Relationships take work. I use my skills to help you understand yourself, to help you fill gaps in relationships, to help you heal wounds that feel like they will never heal. I offer no magic solutions; you will only get out of therapy what you are willing to put in it. I will help guide you in learning ways to communicate again and find a common languages in your relationships. You must have a willingness to look at yourself honestly, in the process of creating a solution. I am available for speaking and mental health educational opportunities. Please call the office sometimes emails go to our spam folder and we miss them.

Many times our beliefs, experiences, and even our most valuable relationships may leave us feeling as though many things are outside of our control, leading to sadness, anxiety, stress, and hopelessness. Self-limiting beliefs and negative thoughts often lead one down a difficult life's path; further reinforcing or magnifying a sense that joy and fulfillment are not within one's grasp. Often our sense of self, relationships, and every aspect of one's life may be impacted to such an extent that it may feel as if there is no way out, stirring feelings of hopelessness, despair, perhaps anger and even rage.

*****Accepting new clients***** I believe the statement "If you do not like where you are move you are not a tree"..... When a tree is planted there it stands and grows with no chance of up rooting its roots and moving to another location. During a trees life it is subject to the daily dangers of the weather and other things that will tear it down. There are times when we may feel like trees in relationships and/or life situations and feel paralyzed, scared and hopeless in moving forward, believing there is no other way to be.

Anxiety, depression and trauma mean different things to different people. Listening to you as a whole person is crucial to helping you feel better. Elements of Transpersonal Psychology and helping you live by your own values contribute to a positive, safe, therapeutic experience.

Step into mental peace through the applications of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga. "Women's health is inextricably linked to their status in society. It benefits from equality, and suffers from discrimination. Today, the status and well-being of countless millions of women world-wide remains tragically low" - World Health Organization, 1998

Are you trying to cope with a traumatic experience? I can help you overcome symptoms associate with traumas, depression, fears/anxieties, and attachment issues to enable you to deeply connect to your true-self and to others. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy to help my clients change their relationship to their traumatic memories so they can learn new ways to live a life worth living. The most important factor in successful counseling is an authentic connection with your counselor. I strive to create this with each client by valuing his/her unique qualities.

If you're searching for counseling, I suspect you're feeling pretty lost. Your brain is fogged. You're anxious and confused about your marriage, your kids, or the history you've experienced. What you once thought to be true when you were at your best doesn't seem possible in the future. Maybe you're not lost. Maybe you've just forgotten how to do this thing we call life. Maybe you just need someone else to help carry you for a while. We can help.

Each of us carries our own unique story as we make our way through life. On the way you may encounter challenges and struggles which leave you feeling uneasy, out of sync, or trapped. Additional issues including grief and loss, unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety and chronic stress lessen your ability to fully live life. Therapy provides a safe place where you can regain balance, discover insights about your life, identify and build on strengths and empowers you to find positive solutions for desired change.
