Please note: morning & midday availability only .......... Change is not easy. Whether you're needing to experience relief from anxiety, depression, past trauma, or a current difficult situation, counseling can help bring us out of stagnation and onto the path of change in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. I enjoy helping people identify what thoughts and behaviors are helpful in building satisfying lives and which may have once proved useful, but no longer work for them. Taking small steps, while being kind to ourselves when we make mistakes, can create the kind of change that we want to see in our lives.

I provide counseling to help teens and adults understand and gain skills to manage constant fear that something bad may happen to themselves or someone they care about. My clients often identify that these thoughts, feelings or physical symptoms (tightness in chest or pit in stomach) are tied to past experiences or learned behaviors. We'll process the past, address its impact on the present, identify and implement strategies to help you feel safer within yourself and more secure in relationships. We'll work on mood regulation, reframing, challenging thoughts, adaptive self-soothing, distress tolerance and communication.

The first steps to a counseling session can be scary, but it is also a courageous act in understanding yourself and living a more engaging life. My philosophy in providing care has always been "helping others help themselves." I believe that each individual has the ability to change and grow in their journey. In sessions I provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative space. I will also acknowledge that our world is vastly different and more chaotic than it was a few years ago - political discourse, racial injustice, climate change - and I will do my best to offer you some direction in these collective struggles.
