"Is anxiety, worry or stress a problem for you or your child? Are moods or behaviors taking a toll on friendships, relationships, school or work? For more than 15 years, I've helped my clients learn to cope more effectively with problems like anxiety, depression and a lack of self-confidence. We set goals and take practical steps to achieve them, using tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. More recently, I've begun working with children and teens, using CBT and creative expression to help address issues and find solutions."

"When life gives you lemons, stop on by. It's not an easy world we live in. It can become very challenging, fast-paced, and stressful.

"Feeling worried or anxious about what others think of you? Does your mind race with self-criticism and doubt? Are you nonstop questioning yourself - whether people like you, whether you're enough, if you're doing the "right" things in life, or if your relationships are good? Do you constantly tell yourself that you’re “too sensitive,” that you should “just get over it,” or that you’re “overreacting?” If you found yourself nodding along with some (or most) of this, then I'm definitely a great fit for you. I work best with people who feel unsure of themselves and their lives, and struggle to build the confidence or knowledge to make changes they want to make.

"Grief is powerful, takes energy, and can seem messy. It is a normal reaction to loss but can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. I have observed how it impacts people's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, health, and relationships. It can cause people who are usually in control to feel out of control. Grief is cumulative and giving it time doesn't necessarily alleviate it. I have passion around this because I find people quickly improve once they attend to their unresolved losses and I provide a space for that."

There's no need to compare - your experience is as unique and important as you are."
