"Many of us feel anxious and overwhelmed by the stress of our daily lives. Most of the time, we have the tools and support to effectively deal with our anxiety. However, there can be times when we become overwhelmed and have difficulty managing the stress on our own. Work, family, finances, health issues and unresolved trauma can all be the cause of our heightened anxiety. Research shows that chronic stress can negatively impact our relationships and our health. Whether your anxiety is caused by past traumatic experiences, or current life events, we can work together to improve your ability to cope and live a more peaceful life. "

"I AM UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME: I am a licensed clinical social worker working in my 15th year with individuals, families, adolescents and children. My experience and training as a family systems therapist has afforded me the opportunity to engage clients from an empowerment and strength-focused model. During my diverse experience in the field I have successfully worked with individuals and families who have experienced a wide range of issues including those suffering from the traumatic effects of substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, issues of self-esteem and dealing with loss.

"There are times when we are uncertain how to respond to issues, we may become overwhelmed by having to make decisions or we may feel depleted because we tried everything possible but the problem(s) persist and seem to grow. We may also feel isolated as our personal and professional relationships become conflicted. We might be responding to problems never before experienced, or we may lack the knowledge experience and skills to be objective to find a solution. Sometimes we may not have had role models or personal, academic or professional mentors to help guide us through various situations."

"Sometimes it feels like we don't have control of our own stories-- our love stories, or maybe even the stories of our entire lives. Our problems take over to the point where they're running the show, not us! How can we claim our rightful place as the authors and editors of our own narratives? Well, in life we are a part of many different systems-- maybe a couple, family, or certainly society. Humans team up naturally, as it helps us accomplish more than we could alone. But problems can arise that change the way we interact with the other parts. In other words, we start feeling unhappy, or acting in unhealthy ways."

"Do you get caught up in judging yourself for being overwhelmed by anxiety? Perhaps your self doubts bring on that heart-racing, agitated feeling that makes it hard to focus and get things done. When that frenzied feeling ends in tears or worse, fury, everything can feel out of control. The effects on your children, family, relationships, work, and performance, only amplify your worry. You may even feel like you're failing everyone. Now imagine being able to sort through your fears, worries and responsibilities in a way that doesn’t undo you. This could involve facing a history of hurt, a wounded spirit, or painful trauma. "
