Life doesn’t always follow a straight path. Unexpected twists and turns can leave us feeling overwhelmed or unsure of what comes next. You’re not alone in these experiences. Whether you are grieving, growing distant in your marriage, aging, struggling to care for family, finding it hard to build meaningful relationships, recovering from a divorce or breakup, experiencing mood swings, facing challenges at work or school, relocating, or navigating pregnancy or the realities of parenthood, I can help you feel less overwhelmed and more fulfilled. My goal is to help you feel better using direct, respectful, and supportive feedback
I've had over 30 years of experience helping others who struggle with anxiety, depression, Bipolar, premarital and marital issues, pregnancy and postpartum depression, infertility, grief and loss, chronic or life threatening illnesses, relationship and blended family issues, career counseling, divorce recovery as well as trauma and post traumatic stress.
Since the work we do is serious and incredibly important, I create a safe and caring space where you can relax and be yourself. Specialized training includes grief counseling, EMDR for trauma, Gottman Counseling for couples, and perinatal mental health by PSI. Please explore my website for additional information. Accepting new clients at Hyde Park office!
