Being a human is hard…sometimes you have to navigate intense emotions, make difficult decisions, adjust after losses, take care of others; sometimes you have to do all of these at the same time. Change is hard too. You might find yourself in familiar patterns and be uncertain how you got there. When it gets to be overwhelming, I can help. I’ve worked with diverse individuals managing a variety of challenges including, but not limited to, emotion dysregulation, chronic medical conditions, caring for someone with a chronic condition, stress, trauma, burnout, grief, low self-esteem, high self-criticism, and emotional eating.

Transitions can be so difficult for us. If you are struggling with adjusting to a major life change, such as the end of a relationship or a significant loss, I can help you work through the challenges you are having and guide you in processing your feelings. If you are having difficulty within your relationship, I can work with you either individually or as a couple to improve communication, reconnect and understand each other better. If you are feeling depressed or anxious, I work closely with you to find the most effective ways to feel better.

When you are able to take the time and effort to learn about your responses to difficult situations, you become empowered to make choices.

Dealing with unfinished business, and, learning skills to manage stress and loss, at this painful time, can help you to prevent future difficulties. I am most interested in helping people to grow. I am able to bring over 35 years of experience to help you learn more about how to manage difficult feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
