Life is no easy task. It can knock us around causing regrets and unwanted feelings. Emotional pain can be elusive, idling for years as the culprit of failed partnerships, loneliness, underachievement, despair, and fear. Mental pain does not send us to the emergency room for stitches but can leave us feeling at war with ourselves. When left unattended this pain can lead to debilitating mood disorders and maladaptive coping strategies. As a partner of Lakewood Counseling, I am here to help you tend to your mental health, restore your inner strength and reclaim control over the life that you deserve.

As far as anyone knows, your life is great. Enviable, even. But deep down, you know the truth: You’re not sure you like your life anymore, or yourself for that matter. Your career, relationships, and the world bring out parts of you that just take over, and you’re not sure how you would define yourself without labels like “driven,” "successful,” “in control,” or “super Mom/Dad.” You’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, resentful, stuck, and unsure about how your work, your life, and your relationships can be sustained in their current state. There is always something to do and someone else to take care of.

Sometimes when life feels completely out of control and your world has been turned upside down, having one hour a week you can count on can be life-changing.

The right balance of support and challenge in therapy can often help you to unlock any "stuck" areas and empower you to re-create your life.

Life can be difficult and it’s not uncommon to feel stressed, anxious or a sense of helplessness. There is no need to face these overwhelming emotions alone. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental environment for you to express your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences.

Change is uncomfortable; not feeling in control is the worst... It is not easy adapting to change that is out of your control. As the world is changing, it may feel like we don't have a grasp of our lives. Spending time with ourselves, we might learn more about what we like, and often times - what we don't like. I've been there, and I want to be there for you through this time. Sometimes, all we need is a person to hear us without judgment, and provide us with insight and the truth to our concerns. I am happy to provide that with you.
