I work primarily with women who are experiencing anxiety, stress, and/or depression due to life changes. Here are my specialties briefly stated: Anxiety/Stress for Women; Anxiety for Business Women, CEOs, COOs, CFOs, Managers & Business Owners; Counseling for Women and Women's Issues; Retired Women redefining their identity; Divorce and Separation late in life; Balance of Life Issues; "Too Sensitive" or Empathetic. Most of the women I see identify in one or more of these areas. Because of my 25 year background in business and understanding of these stresses, I enjoy working with business women of all ranges.

Life is not easy with all it demands, expectations and responsibilities. At some point in life and under certain circumstances life can become too difficult and we feel overwhelmed. We react with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. This is the time when we are ready to look for support and to find ways improving our lives. Be it from a difficult childhood, the end of a relationship or from other hardships there are ways to heal. When you are ready to start the journey of healing I would be honored to accompany you and help you to find your innate strength to build the healthy relationship with yourself and life that you deserve

We all have moments when we struggle with our emotions whether we are struggling with grief, pandemics, relationships, job stress, spiritual conflicts and more. Ultimately, my motivation and dedication is to help others become their best version of themselves when faced with these struggles and create a path towards a future that is hopeful, exciting and empowering.

As a social worker and a fellow human being, I understand that life can sometimes present challenges that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I believe in your inherent capability and worth as a person, and I am here to offer a caring and affirming space for you to build on your unique strengths and honor your values as you work towards greater wellbeing and healing.

I have worked with children, and their parents, adolescents, adult men and women since 1984. I see people with a variety of concerns, which includes, but is not limited to, developing more rewarding relationships, parenting issues, making transitions in their lives, and loss & grief. Many people today feel overwhelmed with the pressures of living and trying to keep their heads above water. I help them to strategize ways to reach their chosen goals, and how to take better care for themselves and those they love.

Life can get very messy, and things happen we just don't know how to handle.

A Shared Path Counseling offers both indoor and outdoor sessions! If the path you've been walking has taken you into difficult or unexpected territory, you've come to the right place. My hope is to be a kind companion to you as we walk into your story and process your unique situation together.

Thank you for taking a moment to check in with yourself and to reach out. I would love an opportunity to talk more about what is not feeling good in your life. I trust that it's that very experience of being together that allows one's own confidence to emerge and for clarity to arise even in the midst of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, anger or grief. With warmth, curiosity and patience we'll make our way toward the discomfort, cultivating confidence in your own process for healing, strength and safety, while at the same time learning tools for tending to needs, exploring boundaries, managing stress, and caring for feelings.

Learn to deepen your connection to your intuition, knowingness, heart, soul/spirit, and/or inner wisdom.

We are living in such an interesting time right now during this pandemic. Any struggles we may have had previously with anxiety, depression, etc, are getting exacerbated and amplified. Our culture has taught us to grasp onto things that help us feel like we have control, and this pandemic directly challenges that, as we have very little to no control over what is happening. It is an opportunity for us to learn how to sink into trust, surrender and letting go, something we are typically not taught how to do, as well as to live more presently. There is opportunity in all of this, to learn to live and treat ourselves differently.

People experience all kinds of difficulties in their relationships: sexual, emotional, psychological and spiritual. I can help motivated individuals to make positive relationship changes. Maybe staying in your current relationship isn't the answer; I specialize in helping people to determine if they are going to stay together and enhance their relationships or choose to part in the healthiest way possible. I work with adults of all ages to lead healthier and happier lives. I have over 25 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families to relate to themselves and each other in more productive and positive ways.

Welcome! Alpine Meadows Counseling provides professional counseling services for individuals, couples and families. Currently, I do not have openings for couples or families.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I work with families, couples and individuals, both adults and children, using a systemic focus. I work from a strength based model with cognitive behavioral interventions for issues of depression, anxiety and behavioral difficulties. I am also an EMDR trained therapist in working with issues of trauma. I use a variety of influences in working with couples including Emotionally Focused Therapy and am a pro-marriage therapist. I believe in order to realize positive growth and change, a person must find balance in themselves and their relationships.

I embrace the idea that change is all around us and happening every day. Our job as people is to learn how to manage and adjust to this change as it unfolds in our lives. This can be challenging and difficult and that is where I come in. I can help you identify skills to use as you open new doors and live in the here and now.

If you are looking to improve your life or your relationships with others, I can help you. In working with individuals, couples, and families, I bring my warm personality and strong clinical skills into the counseling session. I specialize in working with couples and families to build more positive relationships, reduce conflict, set healthy boundaries, and express their thoughts and feelings more honestly. I also work with people on feeling happier, better managing stress, and addressing trauma. Because each person comes in with unique goals in mind, you and I will work together to create a plan specifically tailored to your needs.

Life is messy. Chaotic. Unpredictable. My desire is to provide a compassionate and safe space to work through troubling issues and explore those patterns in life that have been disruptive, or perhaps destructive. My style is warm, accepting, and creative.
