We all feel stuck in life, but sometimes we can really struggle trying to get back on our feet. Our difficulties can be compounded by anxiety, depression, trauma exposure, or unresolved wounds from earlier in life, leaving us wondering what's wrong with us and why it's taking so long to feel better. This can especially be true for those of us who feel unsupported by family members we've spent our who life trying to please. As if that weren't enough, these struggles can be amplified for people accustomed to self-reliance.

I trust my clients to be aware of any current health issues or exposure that might deem in person sessions unadvisable.
At our core, I believe we are all uniquely perfect. There may be things that get in the way of our realizing our wonderfulness and potential such as trauma, grief, crisis, old ideas, habits, negative patterns of thinking about ourselves, others or our lives. We all need support, new information or skill building at times in life. I bring fresh perspectives and serve as a positive guide and collaborator to people who wish to grow and change. Developing an authentic, trusting rapport, rich in empathy and acceptance are the foundation upon which functional, joyous, harmonious and fulfilling lives can evolve.

Sometimes it's difficult to look at the life we have and compare it to the life we'd like to have, without feeling disillusioned and powerless. Anxiety, depression, life transition, work-life balance, etc., can make life hard. If you find yourself in this position, you're not alone. Processing disappointment and overcoming difficulties can take time, and sometimes it feels like we're stuck and never going to be able to move on in life. If you've experienced anxiety, depression, trauma, etc., and are having difficulty finding your way, I am here to help.

I have an incredible passion for people and always have had. In my experience as a nurse and as a therapist, I have enjoyed teaching, encouraging, and creating possibilities for hope and healing. My belief is that when we feel safe enough we become more genuine and more capable of loving and living incredible lives. We laugh more, play more, rest better and have more compassion for others. My hope is that you learn to be your best self, genuine, true to yourself and to learn the art of self-care, establishing healthy boundaries and a support system regardless of a painful childhood and difficult life circumstances.

My counseling style is eclectic and client focused with a systems perspective. I have experience working with children, adolescents, individuals, families and couples. I believe that people act or behave with the intent of feeling good, but often develop coping behavior along the path of life that no longer serves them. I assist clients in identifying and connecting with the positive intent behind "dysfunctional behavior", and discovering new methods of coping that lead to a more balanced and joyful journey through life.

Is your teen or pre-teen struggling and you know they need help, but you are not sure where to start? Would you like them to talk to someone who specializes in adolescents? I can help your child and your family get through the rough patches. I help with a wide variety of teen and pre-teen issues including depression, anxiety, school attendance, substance abuse and family conflict. I also have expertise and experience working with transgender and gender non-conforming youth, and helping parents and families through the transition experience from a gender positive approach. If you are a parent and you are here looking for help, I know already that you are your child’s advocate. You are in your child’s corner. That support is a powerful force in their life, and so important for resilience, but when your child is struggling it can be so scary and so hard to know what to do. With grown kids of my own, I’ve been there as a parent through the rocky times too. I can help. Give me a call.
