These thoughts are common when dealing with depression and anxiety and they are often intensified by isolation. Stop trying to handle it all on you own. Past trauma, loss of a loved one, toxic relationships, dysfunctional families of origin can all cause difficulties functioning at your best. Connection helps. Together we will explore those thoughts and feelings that are blocking you from finding peace in your own mind.

You want the best for your child or young adult, but some things have occurred. As a parent, you want your child to feel confident, secure, and safe - from bullying, social media, societal standards, school, the pandemic, and unfortunate circumstances. The truth is.. Events, people, and things have affected them in a way that matters to you, but getting your child to open up and divulge all that is happening within them is possibly challenging. Sometimes the most confident person still can't find the words to say. Certain feelings and emotions live deep within your child. You're not alone in experiencing this and I can help.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in working with lawyers and other professionals dealing with career and personal issues. I work often with clients who struggle with the many various issues that come from working in a high pressured, rigidly structured environment, including career fit, internal and external motivation, the fine line between effective and ineffective anxiety, and managing interpersonal dynamics in the workplace and in your personal life. Any underlying relational and interpersonal issues we may have can be highlighted and exacerbated in a high-pressured working environment.

Creating a rich and meaningful life in the 21st century is more complicated now than ever. Sometimes, personal, work, and family responsibilities are difficult to manage in spite of our best intentions. Stress takes its toll on individuals, couples, and families. Mental and physical health deteriorates, relationships suffer or fall apart, and dreams, once vibrant and alive, fade like an aged photograph. Yet, even an old photograph holds memories of previous dreams, however dim, and can provide the impetus for a hopeful future. I can help you create your future by resolving the past and living in the present.

We are living in unprecedented times with the Coronavirus pandemic upon us. Social distancing, while necessary, takes its toll on relationships and families. There is widespread panic and fear that we need to transform into productive energy to best support one another through this crisis. We can make a difference while we stay safe for our loved ones and our communities. Talking about your own fears and anxieties and finding ways to harness them into action can help. Social distancing does not have to mean isolation. I am honored to walk with you through this and trust that we will get through this together. You are not alone.

Do you fear that your relationship is headed toward divorce if things don’t change soon? Do you wonder how you went from madly in love to we can’t stand each other? Do you yearn for those days when you and your spouse were so in love with each other and you couldn’t keep your hands off each other? Sadly, these problems are far too common these days. Fortunately, couples therapy can help you get back on track.

Sometimes things can be too much for you to handle without some extra support and help, and it can take some real courage to admit that and take steps to do something about it. Today you've taken a step onto a new and positive path towards growth and well-being. It's not easy going through difficulties without seeking professional help and at times we may look for guidance from friends and loved ones and other times we need someone else to step in and guide us. I am passionate about helping you and will create an empathic, supportive and non judgmental environment where you will feel most at ease and can begin your healing process.
