I welcome you to my practice of Embracing Transition. I support you during your difficult situation to see the possibilities when you cannot. I have worked successfully with adults and families for over 30 years focusing on parenting, co-parenting, divorce, and grief. My experience includes working with severe mental health conditions for 25 years. Since 2015 I have worked with individuals with chronic medical conditions.
I have personal and professional experience in working with adults and families in transition. My orientation includes a broad range of modalities contingent on what my client and I decide together what would facilitate hope and change. I am trained in evidenced based parenting strategies and modalities to treat depression and anxiety.
I know you are needing support to manage a difficult time in your life. I have been there. I invite you to contact me so that we might explore how I might be helpful. I hope to demystify the process of therapy. I am focused on clarifying what your goals are and building from the strengths and opportunities that may be hard to see right now.
