Wouldn’t it be helpful if communication in your relationships created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about the people in your life but are feeling uncertain how to strengthen those relationships. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our lives as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to feeling disconnected and unsure what to do differently.

I use a strength-based approach to help clients get from where they are to where they want to be in life. I am skilled in working with adolescents and adults, but do not do couples therapy. I provide counseling for those experiencing difficulties with Anxiety, OCD, Depression and those coping with Grief, Loss and Trauma. I use a variety of techniques including EMDR, CBT, and somatic exercises to individualize therapy for each clients needs. I provide a non-judgemental environment where clients can feel safe and secure when working towards healing.

By approaching therapy as a collaborative process, together we can begin to help you start a new path on your journey of life. I work with clients who want to make a healthy change in your life or seek help coping with new diagnoses. Often long-standing wounds of trauma, depression, or anxiety can get in the way. Together we can build your resources and resilience so that you fully realize your potential. I specialize working with older adults (50+) and their unique constellation of challenges, including health problems, managing chronic disease, and late life anxiety and depression.

There are times when life presents challenges that can make us feel cornered, dissatisfied, or unable to cope. I am passionate about helping people navigate these challenges, heal, and grow as individuals, couples and families.

Every individual has their needs and wants in life. I work with individuals, couples, or families to achieve goals to maintain a more meaningful lifestyle. My strength is an honest approach so that people know that I am being genuine with them and that I amwith them in the moment. I help people to find out what gets in the way of them being effective in everyday life and help them look to a healthier future. I believe that everyone has the power in themselves to change, and that everyone needs help sometimes to keep moving forward.

Our practice is casual and we work hard to make you feel comfortable with your counseling experience. We believe that if you could have figured out the problem yourself, you would have, and if you're coming to us, it's because you want help, not just someone to smile and nod and say, "and how do you feel about that?" However, we also believe that you probably already have all the answers you need - all we do is help you find them.

I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent-child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.

Welcome, anxious women! It's great that you're finally doing something for yourself. Anxious women tend to be overwhelmed, feel that we don't matter, feel disappointed by our partner not supporting us, and worried about not being the best mom, wife, or employee that we can be. We tend to feel like life is spinning out of our reach. Many times, we even doubt ourselves and our ability to be effective. Does this describe you? I know what you're going through, and I can help.

Do you barely remember life before the guilt? Find out how to be free and happy with who you are! Are you a woman exhausted from trying to managing what people think of you? Are you hiding how you feel or something you have done? Are you having an affair? Drinking again? Have you had an abortion and it still keeps you up at night? Are you jealous of your step-children? Resent your partner? Have everything and are still unhappy? Maybe you feel the secret is more than anyone could accept. So scared or trapped you can hardly breathe?

Life certainly has its ups and downs. There are good times when we feel amazing, and there are tough times that cause us excruciating pain. What makes these tough times unbearable is feeling stuck. It is a terrible experience to go through tough times not being sure of a path out. It is an honor and a privilege to connect with clients in these stuck places. Together, we'll work on finding a way out. I primarily work with distressed couples who are stuck in a pattern of disconnection. I also work with individuals stuck in distressing patterns. These are failed attempts at relieving distress related to depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
