I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds exploring areas in life where there is pain, brokenness, relational distress, unwanted patterns or simply a desire to understand oneself and one's relationships more deeply. I believe in the power of journeying with each client and provide individualized counseling services to those dealing with mood disorders, grief / loss , relationship issues, life transitions and trauma.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the many changes life has thrown your way? Are you caring for a loved one suffering from a chronic or terminal illness or the debilitating stages of Alzheimer's Disease? Have you experienced grief , loss , suffering, anxiety, depression, trauma, or just feeling like facing the day in the morning is too much? Imagine waking up rested in the morning feeling comfortable in your own skin. Managing all the daily demands of your day and still have the confidence to make the decisions needed to the best of your ability.

Whether you are struggling with a life change (life-limiting diagnosis, divorce, a new phase of life), a loss ( death , a relationship, job, sense of your own independence), feeling stuck (life isn't moving in the direction you had hoped, you want to feel different but just don't know where to start), or you are in pain (physical or emotional), I can be a non-biased sounding board and guide. I like to meet my clients "right where they are" and help you with tools to move in the direction you wish to be. I'm easy to talk to, not afraid to talk about hard things, and mix in my own "humanness" with a dose of humor in our sessions.

We all have struggles from time to time. Life can bring loss , disappointment, confusion, frustration, and the feeling of being completely overwhelmed. The clutter of emotions can take over our lives and affect our relationships. A counselor provides an emphatic ear, support, and a safe place to sort through the struggles and emotions. Many times I find clients are unaware of their strengths therefore underutilizing them. Some simply are unsure of the next step. I help clients regain control of their emotions and clear the way to better choices.

Have you ever felt like the hits just keep on coming and the suffering seems relentless? You are not alone. I believe life is like a stained glass window. While, the broken pieces of glass are painfully sharp and seem purposeless, these shattered pieces are made beautiful when held in the light. Personally, I believe in the context of therapeutic relationship, brokenness can begin to be restored. As a counselor, I value safety and relational connection which I actively integrate in my sessions. I specialize in joining others who have anxiety disorders, depression, grief and loss , spirituality and attachment wounds.

** My caseload is currently at capacity ** As a systems-focused narrative therapist, I help my clients explore the personal, relational and societal stories (both useful and problematic) that shape and give meaning to their lives.

I believe everyone has the innate ability to change. My role as your therapist is to facilitate change in areas you want to see improvement. I work from a person centered approach which is a nondirective, empathic approach that empowers and motivates the client in the therapeutic process. Rather than viewing people as inherently flawed, with problematic behaviors and thoughts that require treatment, person-centered therapy identifies that each person has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. I take clients ages 12 and older effected by anxiety, depression, grief , trauma, relational issues and work stress.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist, and my goal in practicing psychotherapy is to establish an ongoing conversation and to develop a relationship which brings a client greater self-knowledge, access to their inner resources, liberation of repressed feelings and healing from trauma. Jon Kabat-Zinn's expression is central for me in my work: “No matter how many scars we carry from what we have gone through and suffered in the past, our intrinsic wholeness is still there… We are still what was present in us before the scarring…And we can reconnect with that, because it is the very nature of who we truly are".

Having had experienced many losses in my life, I often wonder what to do next or how to move forward. Sometimes life happens so quickly that it seems like there is not enough time to catch a breath. It's a scary feeling to have to figure out the hustle and bustle of life while still hurting inside. Fearful of being misunderstood, judged or like "it" may not work may be the negative thoughts that have developed during such a devastating loss .
