Beneath your fights about dishes are valid needs that deserve to be heard, seen, and valued. Let's get you more connection and less tension in the relationship. I also work with individuals navigating recovery from high-control childhoods and romantic relationships, including religious trauma and loved ones with personality disorders like BPD. Let's explore who YOU are and what you authentically want outside those institutions and relationships. Attachment work, grief, identity processing, and trauma are uncomfortable parts of the human experience. We'll work together to see how they show up in your life. You deserve more peace.

I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking change in their lives and are looking to find a different way of viewing their circumstances. In looking for change, I find satisfaction in helping clients who are open to feedback and working as a team to develop and utilize techniques that make sense to the individual and their life.

Overwhelmed students and young adults often wonder, “Will someone have the experience to help me through this without making me feel even worse than I do about the way things have turned out?” or “ If I can just get through these next crucial years everything might be ok, but for now I am not sure how or even if that can happen.” 13-24 year olds are faced with a challenging game of constant decision making, competitive peer environments, and finish lines that appear to move further away. Families and loved ones also get swept up in the pressure of watching young people in their lives encounter diverse and time sensitive obstacles.

"Worried Well" describes those who are dealing with life the best they can in spite of anxious thoughts, depressed moods, overwhelming stress, or grieving. Juggling demands of work and home, struggling with relationships or divorce or a loved one's addiction, or experiencing significant losses can make anyone doubt life will get better. Some feel guilty or selfish for experiencing these thoughts and feelings. Many question God or harbor anger and resentment toward others. Some are simply numb and can no longer find joy in the journey. You are not alone!

Hi! I'm on a quest to help you be happier, healthier, and more connected to yourself and those around you. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or "like an outsider," or at odds with people in your life, I am here to provide support. You may also live in a rural area or identify as "alternative" in some way, adding to the difficulty of accessing competent care. I provide a secular and explicitly safe space for members of the LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, polyamorous, and kink communities experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, trauma, and substance abuse.

Are you interested in examining your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to make positive change? I am committed to providing a safe & affirming space to harness strengths, explore current patterns, & see where there could be space for growth. I have worked with individuals on the Autism Spectrum & those with depressive, anxious, & trauma-related symptoms. I acknowledge that treatment of these challenges is not "one size fits all", & pride myself on my experience working with folks in the LGBTQIA2S+ community, & those with different health conditions & ability statuses.

"My kid is struggling. I don't know what to do, I just want them to go back to their normal self." This is a powerful sentiment for many concerned parents. Young adults and teenagers themselves often tell me, "I don't know what my next step is, I just feel stuck." These feelings can be isolating, but by looking for help, you're already taking those steps towards change. There's no shame in doing the best thing for your kids.

Every day stressors, fears and anxieties brought on by living in our changing world can take a toll and steal our joy. Talking to a counselor can help provide support and comfort. I will be offering telehealth counseling and in person sessions. Please visit my website to learn more! I can help you understand what you're feeling, how you got there and work on finding your authentic happiness . Emotions can be confusing and hard to untangle. They can easily overwhelm us and keep us feeling stuck. I will help you create a plan that works for you. You deserve to feel relief from stress, joy, purpose and meaning in your life.

Are you feeling apprehensive about starting your therapeutic journey? I understand! I will take the time to get to know you as an individual in order to best support your needs. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and sometimes it just takes a little support from a neutral party to work through challenges. If you're wondering "what" to do next, "how" to overcome a particular challenge, or are hoping to "learn" new skills to manage your anxieties - please reach out! A good therapist will partner with you and help you feel empowered to take on whatever life throws at you.

It is much harder for us to show kindness and compassion than it is to judge ourselves because we are not strong enough to push through everything with a smile. I hope to assist you with learning how to extend the kindness you give to others to yourself. I have experience with individuals across the lifespan experiencing significant emotional distress and with those struggling with transitioning between stages of life. I focus on ambiguous grief to assist anyone struggling to identify and establish the role they want to have in their own lives and create sustainable change.

Making the decision to seek out therapy is courageous and at times, anxiety-provoking. Dr. Foresman works to provide a supportive, non-judgmental and understanding environment, building a positive rapport and sense of trust. She will work to guide you in allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable in an effort to explore your concerns at a deeper level. Together you will work together to better understand the underlying issues creating disruption in your daily functioning and initiate lasting change. Dr. Foresman works to help individuals gain a better understanding of themselves, what motivates their actions and interactions.

Are you or your child experiencing stress, worry, mood swings, difficulty focusing, burnout, or challenges in relationships? Do you feel uncertain about handling life's different stages or supporting your adolescent in today's complex world? It doesn't have to feel overwhelming! If anxiety, challenging behaviors, ADHD, depression, conflicts with developmental milestones, or life changes are causing struggles for you or your child, I'm here to offer assistance.

Sometimes you just need a safe place to land. Sometimes the activity and busyness in our daily lives are poor substitutions for intimate connections. Intimacy in relationships are the balm to our hurting hearts. Relationships are the sutures to our open wounds. Creating a safe, sacred space, and deep, quiet listening is the fertile soil needed for authentic sharing, deepening intimacy and healing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty-five years of clinical experience, I offer individual, couple, and group psychotherapy. Upon client request, I offer to integrate their spirituality in the healing process.

I totally enjoy working with the various populations: probation substance use disorder; court order for DUI treatment; college students with anxiety/depression and life transition issues; and anyone that is wanting to learn how to correct thinking errors in order to change the outcome of their situations.

There's probably nothing you're going to tell me that I haven't heard. Although my clients have diverse anxieties, they often find that their shame in talking to me is quite unnecessary. Emerging adults have so many challenges with no clear approach to overcome them. This question of "how" comes back to the person you're becoming, and who you want to be going forward. It's okay if you've made many mistakes thus far – we all have. This is your opportunity to choose what to do this time.

At our first meeting, I will listen to your story so I can understand what got you (or a loved one) to this point, with special attention to your hopes for the future. Over my 30+ years in practice, my clients have found me collaborative, warm, supportive, honest, and engaging, with a healthy dose of humor. I work with school-aged children, teens, and adults and I especially enjoy helping parents develop effective strategies to address concerns about their children's behavioral, developmental, and mental health challenges.

Creating harmony between our personal life, work, or school can help us feel hopeful, and secure in who we are. Using a person centered, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach, my goal is to help others discover healthy ways to manage their stress. I share practical tools to help others get through their day to day stressors. I may also assign homework in between sessions, such as applying and practicing mindfulness based techniques, or facing a fear or difficult task you may be avoiding or struggling with.

I have a passion for working with people. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2009 and have worked in many aspects of my field.
