Is the life you're living not the life you imagined? Do you feel like you have given the best of yourself to others and wonder what's left for you? Does it feel like you are running out of time and you have yet to discover your purpose? Have you mastered the art of looking "all together" but inwardly it's taking everything you have to keep yourself together? Do you become angry, frustrated, sad, irritated when you think about your future? Are you feeling life has left you without options forcing you to settle for whatever comes your way? Have you stopped dreaming, imagining, and pursuing the once fiery passions of your heart?

Trust and connection are so important in a therapeutic relationship! I work extensively with adults and couples of all ages, with a subspecialty in the stresses of those in their 20s and 30s. I'm dedicated to helping you recover from depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, and to addressing the situational problems that often contribute to unhappiness: difficult relationships, career issues, parenting dilemmas, or major life transitions like college-to-career, office-to-remote work, "empty nest," divorce, or illness. Often, our greatest growth comes from transitions or relationships, as we learn more about ourselves and our goals.

Whether you are looking for a space to unload and process, find new ways to navigate life, set and reach new goals (or recommit to previous ones), explore your identity, work through stress and trauma, improve your relationships, boundaries, and communication (including with yourself), or are finally ready to honor all the parts of you (and let go of those burdens which are not yours to carry), I am here to support you in the process. I hope to challenge you to uncover and project your authentic and dynamic potential, while acknowledging the harmful impacts of oppressive systems and celebrating your growth along the way.

Sometimes in life you encounter problems that overwhelm your ability to cope. The experience can leave you feeling desperate, lonely, and stressed out. I provide a caring and non-judgmental place for you to talk about what is troubling you. I will help you identify the problem, explore solutions, and implement a change plan. I can't promise a perfect life, but I can engage you in a collaborative work alliance where you will have the opportunity to tap into your own power source, identify personal strengths and environmental resources, and identify and implement a plan to not only cope but also to thrive.

Thanks for looking at my profile. I'll try to be clear and direct to help you decide if you believe we'd work well together. I am a down-to-earth counselor with a sincere desire to help, but I'm not for everyone. If you're looking for someone to tell you how to live or give you a one-size-fits-all, quick-fix for your problems, I'm not for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for someone to build a trusting relationship with and explore hard to break habits, difficult patterns in relationships, seemingly endless struggles with anxiety or depression, or insecurities that have been plaguing you for years, I'd be a better fit.

A "desire line" is a foot path made by us – people walking over time, as we discover that the path made for us isn't the easiest, safest or most fun route to walk. Desire lines remind us that we are not alone with our longing, frustration or irritation, nor are we alone in our search for fulfillment, peace or pleasure. Desire lines are also a good metaphor for life. Maybe you and your partner are on an unchosen or changing path and you need a therapist to help you navigate new territory.

We all struggle from time to time and these struggles can sabotage our relationships with ourselves, our families and our colleagues. Therapy can be that much needed intervention to identify and change the destructive patterns that keep us from enjoying our lives. In my practice the focus is on your internal world as well as your environment, your external world.

A fundamental aspect of our humanity is our need for unconditional positive regard, understanding, acceptance, and presence from one another. Life can be challenging, and facing it alone, no matter how strong you are, can feel isolating and tough. You don't have to go through it alone—recognizing this is why we're here together.
