When you're not feeling your best self, it’s difficult to show up in your life in a meaningful way. You miss everything! Of course, everyone wants to feel happy and confident, but it’s not easy to know exactly how to accomplish that. Sometimes we need someone to talk to; a professional to support us and show us the skills and strategies to build a successful, joyful life. We’ll guide you towards deeper self-understanding and help you skillfully manage life’s big and small challenges so that you can embody the happy & self-assured partner, parent, leader, and human that you are.

I work with people who have gone through the same things I've gone through - divorce, remarriage, blended family & parenting struggles, grief & loss due to death and suicide, and loving & care taking of someone with a severe mental illness and/or chronic illness. Let's face it, finding a therapist is hard. You're feeling overwhelmed already and now you've got a list of people with letters after their names and little pictures. You look at the picture and wonder if that person is someone you can talk to. I've been there & it stinks! You deserve to have someone listen, someone to connect to, someone who understands your struggles.

For fulfillment and satisfaction to flourish in your life, you need to first establish a healthy relationship with yourself. Addiction, anxiety, or depression can impact all your relationships and leave you feeling "stuck" and unable to choose a direction in your life. Talking to a professional can really help you move forward. There are many benefits to talking through what is troubling you with a professional rather than a friend. It is a process that you control in my solution-focused problem solving therapy practice method. For 30 plus years, I have provided new insights and skills to help clients create the life they want.

I firmly believe in the power of therapeutic intervention to guide individuals, couples, and families towards healthier, more fulfilling lives. I understand the pain involved in dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and couples’ relationships. My goal is to create a safe, judgement-free, and collaborative environment that gives you the freedom to express yourself and establish goals. My ultimate goal is to be a catalyst for transformation and healing, fostering stronger, more harmonious relationships and for individuals to find the support and understanding they need to lead happier and healthier lives.

ANXIETY and WORRY might already have been hard for you and it's even harder now. Triggered memories you thought you'd moved on from might have also surfaced due to the current state of things. You’d like to feel Clear, Calm, and CONNECTED to the highest version of yourself. You want to feel in control of your thoughts and emotions and show up confidently and authentically with yourself and important relationships in your life. You want to move forward, move through all of this but, we know, it’s hard to do. Our therapists get it AND it IS possible because many of our clients have felt the same way too before coming to us.

We will explore what brings you to therapy, and what goals are you looking to achieve in therapy. I will assist you in discovering how to achieve your outcomes, but how to recognize when you have mastered your own goals.

You fight with everything in you. You are the person that spends your free time searching for solutions. Your family is strained. Tomorrow will bring new arguments, new misunderstandings, and more stress. There is no greater pain than the pain dealt by those who are supposed to love you.

I assist clients in finding solid ground, purpose and forward motion. Let's find the unique opportunities in each of us, our partners, and our family. The core of all counseling is a desire to be accepted and to belong. How about speaking with a practical therapist with the goal of providing a safe and nurturing environment that allows space and time to heal, learn, and grow. We often seek help when in crisis. Let's work together to build communication and healing.
