Each client is unique. Crisis, transition, relationship, workplace problems, coming out, depression, anxiety, identity, parenting . . . the list goes on. Nonetheless, the three phrases I'm most accustomed to hearing first are: "I'm completely stuck." "I don't understand why I feel this way." and "I just don't see a way out of this." It is important that we begin exactly where you are. Some of the issues you're bringing to therapy may first need practical attention in order to alleviate your current distress. Subsequently, we'll look for connections to the source of your issues and begin the healing process.

I understand how difficult it can be to decide to seek help for life's obstacles. In my practice, my goal is to help my clients become experts on themselves. Every end is a new beginning. If you're challenged with relationship issues, family conflict, parenting, a trauma history, depression, anxiety or have a child or an adolescent who is struggling with behavioral issues, or just looking for support and guidance through a challenging situation and looking to move in a new direction, I encourage you to let me help you with your experiences. I am dedicated to getting to the root of stuck patterns. There are techniques out there!

I see my role as a counselor is one of an assistant or facilitator. I believe we all have the ability to help ourselves but we sometimes need a little help. As we go about our daily lives, we encounter stress which can affect us in different ways; showing up as depression, anxiety, health problems, or relationship problems. Sometimes we need someone to listen and give us a different perspective on our problems and insight as to how to deal effectively with them. I am familiar with cognitive-behavioral techniques and incorporate family systems and personality theories as needed.

Let’s Talk Food & Mood. Often times we find ourselves in a constant state of overwhelm. Work, kids, relationships, finances, loss and bereavement are contributing factors. Would you consider yourself an emotional or stress eater? Science has proven that unhealthy food choices and erratic meal patterns create digestive issues which deplete the serotonin levels in the brain. This is a direct correlation to mood swings, anxiety, depression, brain fog, headaches and sadness. Consider contacting me for a free consultation today. It’s not about what you fill your plate with, it’s what you fill your mind with that will create change.
