***Schedule full. Not accepting new clients at this time*** Life can be complicated for different reasons. Sometimes more support can help. At any age, life can be overwhelming, negative behaviors can persist, relationships trapped in hurtful patterns, or inner worlds caught in negative thinking which stretch our coping, and cause stress. In all this WE WANT TO FEEL BETTER! Counseling offers a private, confidential space to get help. It is an honor to listen and join in your life story. I work with adults/couples/families/teens and children, listening to your goals to bring balance, health, wellness, peace and more happiness.

Do you feel as though you are parenting several children in one? Do you have an adoptive child that is struggling? Does your child: deny remembering specific events, vary in his/her abilities, rapidly change moods, steal, hoard food, lack social skills, show physical/verbal aggression, react disproportionately to specific situations? Are you confused by your child's behavior and frustrated that your current parenting skills/techniques are not effective?

I believe that growth and healing are a part of our process during this lifetime. That everything we experience molds who we are and how we see ourselves and the world. Sometimes those experiences can distort our reality and create a way of seeing things that isn’t helpful. Our current society is one that encourages people to “pick themselves up by the bootstraps” and keep moving forward without help. This just encourages us to keep this same unhelpful way of thinking. There is nothing wrong with getting support on your journey. A new perspective can be just what you need to move forward in your life in a more fulfilling way.
