Sometimes people hit a wall. Things that used to be satisfying, like career, relationships, or hobbies don't light them up the way they did when they were younger. All the sleepless nights worrying about "why?" just lead to a useless cycle. I help people, aged 25-75, who have "hit the wall" and are ready to find a healthy way through to the other side. My clients are sick to death of repeating the same unsatisfying patterns but can't seem to stop or change. They feel stressed, ashamed, shut-down, or depressed and don't feel nearly enough love, joy, optimism, or creativity.

COUNSELING FOR SENIORS Struggling with an issue? Adjusting to changes in your life? Facing difficult challenges? Welcome... I have an extensive background in helping older adults navigating the complications life brings and the emotions that accompany them. This includes everything from rehabilitation after a medical issue or injury, dealing with grief or loss, changing roles at home and in the workplace, and maintaining a sense of purpose throughout every stage of life. My goal is to help you gain insight, solve problems, and make the changes you wish to see in your life.

One of the most challenging steps in making a change is reaching out for help, so I’m glad you’re here. Clients I see often express feelings of overwhelm, worry, things “not going right,” and finding themselves repeating cycles they can’t seem to get out of. I hear time and time again that they’ve tried many ways to help themselves: self-help books, meditation apps, therapy social media accounts, yoga and breath work, changed their diet/exercise, and even medication management… but they still struggle. Despite these efforts, it seems like the “oomph” they’ve needed for their healing was having a space to process their thoughts.

Are you dealing with the death of a loved one? Do you simply wish you had someone to talk to who is impartial and non-judgmental? Therapy is about finding the right "fit" with a therapist, and I pride myself in creating a comfortable environment in which to foster growth. Sometimes all we need is to have a place to talk things out before we can move forward and feel better.

Each person has a unique ability to heal themselves or grow in the area of their choice. In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I strive to personalize services based on the needs and input of my clients so they obtain the quality of support they are looking for. A passion of mine is to empower individuals and families to strengthen their personal relationships so each person may reach their true potential. I strive to create a supportive environment for individuals to grow and learn regardless of age, gender, culture, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.

Helping survivors of childhood trauma heal gives me a sense of purpose and hope. Most of my clients have never experienced a safe and happy life. They grew up with parents who hurt them, criticized them, or even abandoned them altogether. Most of my clients know what it feels like to be a tiny little kid who knows their mother doesn’t love them. Most of them know what it’s like to be a seven-year-old who has perfected the art of silent crying. Most of my clients badly need to talk about it. They need to be believed. They need to process their grief, anger, and fear, so they can let go of their shame.
