As therapist I am committed to address life's challenges of transition and transformation, to enrich each client's ability to think creatively and responsibly about one's own life, and to support the client's vision for change. My goal: to assist the process of self-awareness and clarity; to rename and reconfigure what is significant; and to facilitate the process of creating new solutions of meaning. I perceive life as improvisatory art, more than a linear goal, and I seek to facilitate the client's integration of diverse emotions and experiences into a radiant whole.

The people who call me for help are real people just like you. You exhaust yourself trying to cope with the stresses and strains of real life. You often feel overburdened, stressed out, and maybe even trapped. You try to stay positive about things, but your resources [emotional and financial] are likely stretched to the breaking point. Your relationships are struggling. It seems that the harder you try to make things work, the worse they seem to get. There's not enough time to do what needs done. Every moment you spend in therapy has to count.

To the deep thinkers and feelers out there, it sure can feel lonely. Why are relationships so hard? Why don’t people seem to understand how hard you are trying, how much you care? Why does it feel like everyone else has the playbook to life and somehow you didn’t get your copy? Why does it feel like the world is asking you to be smaller, have less personality, be less intelligent, to be more simple?

Life can sometimes seem like just too much. Stressors like relationships, friendships, school, work, and family obligations can become too heavy to bear. Maybe there is a trauma you have carried for years that you still aren't quite sure how to handle. Maybe you are questioning aspects of your identity and you aren't sure where to turn to speak honestly about them. Or, maybe you just need someone to talk to who can help you process your daily life. That's where counseling can come in.

I am passionate about supporting people at all stages of life, from starting college to starting a family, to retiring. I have been a therapist for over 20 years, & currently balance parenting, career, & a busy family. I help new moms dealing with postpartum depression or anxiety and parents dealing with stages of parenting from infants & toddlers to big kids, tweens& teens, to launching young adults. I can help those adjusting to an empty nest or sandwiched between caring for kids and caring for their own aging parents. I can also help young adults adjust to college, especially with ADHD who struggle with executive functioning.
