Counseling is a valuable investment in you. People seek it out for different reasons. Whatever your situation, I’ll be pleased to meet you and sort out the best ways I can support you in achieving your goals.

Those are social work terms that mean I want to understand you and your unique story to help you use and build on strengths you might not even know you already have so you can have the life you want. The types of counseling I have special training in can be used to help in a variety of situations. Let’s get together to see what we can figure out.

I understand why there has been a recent rise in anxiety and depressive symptoms for many people of all ages. Major events and unexpected life changes can cause a significant amount of stress and anxiety. Stress can make us feel out of control and overwhelmed physically, mentally and emotionally. Things from our past can start to impact us more in our present. Relationships can seem more challenging and trusting ourselves almost impossible. Every person is different and when you take a closer look at every aspect of your life with help from an objective support it can help you see things more clearly and offer ways to cope.

In today’s fast-paced digital world, the growth journey from childhood to adulthood can be challenging and stormy at times.

Hi! I am so glad you are here and I want you to know that it is possible to heal; it is possible to change and grow.

Therapy is an opportunity to gain an incredibly healing and trusting relationship.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck on the past, or unsure of why we feel the way we do can impact how we face the day, interact with others, and view ourselves. I am passionate about working with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, or are needing support through life changes. Additionally, I’m dedicated to supporting new parents and parents-to-be. As a mother of a young child, I understand the challenges and stress surrounding the journey to motherhood as well as the postpartum and new mom stage.

Be proud of yourself. If you have found my profile, you have already taken the first step toward helping yourself, this may be the most difficult of them. For the second step, if you're looking for support toward healing past traumas or navigating any symptoms you may not even understand, such as anxiety or depression. If you're tired of "being over dramatic", having nightmares, panic attacks or even, struggling to get out of bed, take that second step. Therapy can be scary, but so can the thought of being stuck in the cycle your body and mind are finding you in now.
