For over 25 years I have been providing counseling to individuals, couples and families. I strive to establish good relationships with my clients through a warm and genuine interaction and thus create an environment where they feel comfortable to express their feelings openly.

You've been taking care of others for as long as you can remember. You’ve always sacrificed your own well-being to help those around you. A friend broke up with her partner, so you’re the shoulder to cry on. There was a problem with a client at work, so you fixed it. Your husband and kids rely on you for everything from getting dressed to eating meals. “As long as everyone else is happy,” you tell yourself, “Then I’m fine.” But you’re not fine. You’ve completely lost touch with yourself and don’t have the time or energy to find your way back. You’re filled with guilt whenever you try to take a moment for yourself. It feels hopeless.

You find yourself feeling stuck, confused, or just plain overwhelmed. You yearn for someone to hear you, but often feel unheard. Perhaps you’ve tried a lot already, but mostly it just feels like distracting yourself or a temporary release from what you’re really going through. Life’s changes may feel uncomfortable, stressful and new. Struggling to “find yourself” and manage the never-ending list of responsibilities adds to the already existing pressure you feel. Coping with these feelings and life changes are difficult. Questions like, “Who do I want to be?” are so big, and it can be hard to know where to start.
