I work with adults experiencing difficulty in areas of their life including relationship difficulties, coping with
divorce
, identity exploration, emotion regulation, depression, anxiety.
The therapeutic dialogue is a unique collaboration in which exploration and growth can occur while addressing difficult issues around relationships and life. I work with clients to navigate challenges and explore the parts of themselves that have held them back or limited their ability to make satisfying decisions. Each person coming to therapy is in a different place with different needs. I meet them at that place and work with them to move forward and find healing. My goal is to approach clients with compassionate understanding.

Are you stuck but trying to move forward after a break-up or
divorce
? Were you traumatized by deceit or even a double life and wondering if you can ever trust again? Or are you simply terrified seeing so many red flags and disingenuous individuals in the dating pool? No matter what your age or life stage, when a relationship ends whether by choice or by the actions of another, you may be caught off guard and thinking clearly can be difficult. You may experience self-doubt, insecurity, anxiety, and fear. It can be helpful to work together to regain confidence (in yourself and others).

Have you ever felt like no matter who you talk to, you never feel heard? Often times we talk to our families, friends, partners, etc, and never actually feel seen or heard by anyone. This could be a very lonely feeling for anyone which can lead to more symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other life challenges. Being the flashlight in someone's life is my job. I like to make my clients feel seen, heard and validated! My ideal clients are adults, teens and children. I also work with couples!

People seek out a counselor who can guide them--or their child--past their struggles to a better life. They want to get better sooner and stay better longer. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of adults, children and adolescents move past problems and achieve their goals --and to make those improvements stick. Some clients face coping with frustration, depression, anxiety, or relationship and family problems. For others, it's dealing with transitions such as
