You’re feeling overwhelmed. Your thoughts just feel out of control and disruptive to your life. Sometimes you feel defeated because everyday tasks are too much to handle. You have started to wonder if it will ever get better. You can see that there are factors in your past contributing to the way you feel now. Or maybe this just came completely out of the blue for you. Either way, you are struggling to make sense of it. You know that this isn’t the way you want to feel and you’re done trying to figure out how to make it better on your own.
I have several areas of specialty: adults experiencing the fallout from growing up in a dysfunctional family, folks from the LGBTQIA community looking for a safe space, and individuals struggling with life changes such as pregnancy and perimenopause/menopause. I am comfortable with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I recently changed my last name from Fruhauff.
I'm here to listen closely to you while you tell me about what you've been going through. I will help you to figure out how things got to be so hard for you and, most importantly, I will collaborate with you to find the tools you need to get back on track. It’s my top priority to help you feel at ease as we get to know each other.
