Openings for kids and teens! Is your child, teen, or young adult currently struggling with anxiety and is this impacting their overall well-being at home, school, or in the community?

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in unhelpful thought patterns, behaviors, or challenging situations that seem to persist. Facing life's obstacles can often feel like wading through knee-deep sand—expending much energy with little result. Everyone encounters tough times, and while you may have successfully navigated past challenges, there are moments when seeking support can make a difference. I offer the guidance and partnership you need to navigate whatever life throws at you, ensuring you don't have to face it alone.

It’s not easy to find the right therapist and the right connection. My ability to connect, and build trust and rapport, is central to my practice. You may be struggling with chronic illness, anxiety, a life transition, caregiver stress, depression, relationship conflict, or the day to day demands of keeping it all together. We can figure out how to make it better and not so overwhelming. I’ve been graced with the opportunity to work with hospice patients and families, those with chronic illness, and individuals with life impacting mental health and/or life stage issues. I am an active listener, and I ask for feedback.

We all have ideas about how we "should" feel, what our life "should" look like, and how we are "supposed to" deal with the hard stuff. You're ready to get on with the life you want, but you're finding old stories, old ways of thinking and old habits are holding you back. You’re experiencing signs of depression, you're stressed, feel ashamed, and wondering - is this normal, am I normal? Maybe you've been using alcohol or cannabis, or other ways to zone out, to dull the pain and pass the time but that's starting to cause problems too. If it's hard to see a way forward, therapy can help you gain some clarity.
