Living with a chronic health condition or pain can be overwhelming, scary, and confusing. At times you don't recognize yourself anymore, and you wonder what new limitations the day might bring. You know these struggles are somehow behind your depressed and anxious feelings, and you feel alone...that no one understands. Right now, you have more questions than answers, but you know you'd do anything to get your life back. The roller coaster of doctor visits, medication changes, and emotions is becoming too much and you're ready to get off the roller coaster and feel grounded again.

It feels like you don't even know how to talk to the people in your own home anymore. It hasn't always been this way, but for awhile now, you and your significant other just aren't on the same page. Maybe it feels like you don't really know your kids, ever since they've become teenagers it's like you can't communicate with them. You miss having the real intimacy with your spouse. You miss being close with your family. You want that again but it feels like there's this wall between you, everything is a fight, and you don't know how to fix it.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over twenty years of experience in private practice, university settings, community agencies, and K-12 school settings. I help you challenge barriers and create solutions to living a fulfilled, happy life.

Each of us deserve to live our best life, with a sense of purpose and joy. Therapy can help. Perhaps you are struggling with how to find meaning in life, a sense of connection, or peace of mind. Maybe you have a specific goal such as manage anxiety, improve relationships, or process grief. By working together to explore the cause of your difficulties and distress, we can bring about positive lifelong change.

My ideal client is one seeking to find their own personal identity. I use a combination of theoretical approaches to accommodate the specific needs for each client. I always start with a client centered approach to build a trusting relationship. Once that is established I move into a psychoanalytic approach (counselor and client work to understand the inner life of the client through deep exploration of unconscious and past experiences). Once connections from the past and present are acknowledged, and understood, I end therapy using a reality based approach (focusing on the things in life we can control).

Watching your child struggle is excruciating. You want to help them, but they aren't really listening to you. Sometimes they drown you out with yelling or crying, and sometimes they won't talk at all. They do not seem to find joy in the things they used to, and they are not connecting to their friends or peers anymore. Their grades are slipping, they are spending too much time in their room, on a screen, or generally just disconnected. You know your child needs help, but sitting in an office and talking to a stranger doesn't seem like anything they will try or participate in.
