Anxiety tends to be exhausting and absolutely takes a toll on your self-esteem and zeal for life. You have hopes of a full life with an even fuller list of goals and anxiety seems to be standing in the way at every turn. You have reached a point where you recognize that you have no more time, energy, and emotional capacity to bear the burden of being anxious, afraid, and negative and now is the time to step up to the challenge of overcoming anxiety. Having worked with people from all over the world I have seen anxiety in its many forms and know first hand that it can be conquered.

I believe that we are all resilient to overcome difficult circumstances. Sometimes we need help in reclaiming those skills and finding new understanding to function in our environment. I am grateful to work with children,adolescents, and adults with their life challenges. I am dedicated to help you feel empowered by applying new skills . We will work together to discover a meaningful belonging in your environment; overcome feelings of inferiority; and learn new strategies that benefit you. I help you to feel a more genuine connection to yourself and others through compassionate acceptance and reframing negative thoughts to create more positive choices.

My practical view of counseling is as a journey of self-exploration by the client, meant to increase his/her level of self-understanding and self-awareness. As a counselor, I act as the guide or facilitator of this journey.

Does life sometimes look different than you expected it to be? Do you wonder about your life purpose or what gives you value? Or question about where you fit in the world? Perhaps you might even be feeling more anxious about your future lately. We all wrestle with our identity and challenge our self-worth when difficult times emerge in our lives. Some of us struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, or life stage issues and need someone to walk with us and help us navigate during those times. I would love to journey with you through the ordinary and the extraordinary moments of your life.

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, You thought you met your soul mate; found the perfect partner; that one special person in the universe. He was so attentive to every detail to please you. Idealized. Then in a blink of an eye you were devalued, or perhaps replaced and discarded multiple times, only to be ‘hoovered’ and lured back into an abuse cycle. Your sense of self has been eroded, diminished. We can help you find your way back to YOU, help you love yourself again. Help you heal.

There are times where we need a bit more support and perhaps an unbiased non-judgmental person to offer that lending ear. Depression, anxiety and stressors can be debilitating for anyone who has been affected by it regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Therapy is a journey that can offer that support in which the therapist and client work together collaboratively in care. We will both row that boat together to get you to your established goal.
