Excuse me, what? You were already struggling, but now you feel downright crazy that this isn't you. You're not sure how you're supposed to feel, but you do know the demands are more than ever.

You're an amazing woman who's exhausted by life's competing demands. You put pressure on yourself to "do it all." You smile and take on the day, avoiding your emotional pain by staying busy. You have parenting , caregiving, relationship, or life transition issues that are being ignored, leading to anxiety, depression, medical issues, low motivation, and lack of fulfillment. Your past and current traumas are impacting your sleep and daily functioning. You've realized you need help, and you feel bad about that too. After all, you SHOULD be able to handle it all and keep smiling!

My approach with clients recognizes that most people are looking for tangible help, don't have a lot of time between work and family, and want to feel like they are moving toward a better understanding of solutions to address their difficulties. My work with clients acknowledges these issues. I take a very active role in counseling to explore the options with my clients, provide new knowlege of issues where relevant, and help an individual to reach their potential. Issues related to marital/partner, parenting /child, family,work,school,stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse are all areas I work with.

Treatment is results oriented, which means we work together at the beginning to define the changes that are meaningful to you. In a basic sense, psychotherapy is for thinking about feelings. We are all part of systems, be they family, work or society. The outcome is more freedom to be yourself. All inquiries referrals scheduling by phone: please call 508.885.3861.
