You may look steady on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. I help adults coping with anxiety, depression, relationship stress, caregiver strain, grief, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, responsible people who have spent years caring for others while putting their own needs last. Together, we can strengthen coping, improve boundaries, reduce emotional overwhelm, and help you reconnect with your sense of self. I accept Medicare and Blue Cross Blue Shield, as well as many other insurance plans. I offer telehealth and in-person sessions.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, relationship issues, aging-related concerns, and major life transitions such as caregiver changes, retirement, health changes, family stress, and loneliness.
Reaching out can feel difficult, especially when you are used to managing things on your own. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, I invite you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.
