It can be difficult and uncomfortable to talk to someone we barely know about our thoughts and feelings, especially if they are upsetting to us. At some point in our lives, we will need someone to walk with us for awhile. Therapy is about me walking with you. I consider this a privilege and love helping people see how valuable they are, no matter what they have gone through.

Are you seeking therapy for a life change, a listening ear, and some clarity in relationships? I have had over 20 years of experience working with adults and youth, addressing stressors such as depression, anxiety, loss, substance use, and trauma.

Depending on your specific symptoms and goals for therapy, we will explore together to see what approach is right for you.

COUPLES: you feel disconnected, discouraged, and frustrated. Every conversation turns into an argument, so you barely talk to each other. You miss the times when you used to talk lovingly to each other, and touch each other the same way. This isn't the relationship you signed up for. You don't want to feel lonely in your own home anymore. Every effort you make to improve your relationship is met with resentment and resistance. You feel powerless, stuck, and overwhelmed.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed? Do you struggle with anxiety that takes control and keeps you from being the best version of you? Coping with grief after placing a child for adoption?

I particularly thrive in working with individuals who are recovering from narcissistic abuse and a traumatic upbringing.

There is a way through and I would love to join you on your journey. You will find a compassionate, supportive guide who walks with you and to the other side where there is hope and healing .We will work together in a safe, supportive environment.

Has the Covid pandemic taken a toll on your mental health and relationships? Have problems that weren't too bad a couple years ago become much worse since the pandemic started? A lot of people and relationships have been struggling to cope with high stress and anxiety, and have developed new, unhealthy coping habits like overeating and drinking, or using screen time for relaxation - leading to anxiety, panic attacks, relationship problems and more. The key to recovery is upgrading your coping skills to help you take control of your thoughts, emotions and choices, and learning new ways to manage life's stressors.

I am here to help guide you along your individual path and take steps to obtaining a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in all aspects of life.
