Selecting a therapist can be a trying task, often during a difficult time. Obtaining an initial appointment quickly, same day returned phone calls, and being promptly seen as scheduled facilitates a smoother process. The therapist provides a bridge to move your life forward in more satisfying ways. This requires a safe therapeutic space, building a solid alliance, dependability, support around your concerns and achievements, identification of core conflicts, and experiencing growth in constructive, meaningful ways to enhance your internal self-understanding and life-fulfillment. If this is the experience you are seeking, I could be a good fit.

Are you stuck, repeating the same patterns in relationships that start out full of hope and desire, but end up in distance and disappointment? Do fears keep surfacing that lead you to react in ways that sabotage your goals/push others away? You may worry about rejection and loss, or find yourself lonely and disillusioned, wondering what's "wrong" that undermines your happiness. Rest assured, you're not alone! I've been there, too. If you are suffering in relationships, feeling heartbroken, or yearning from unmet needs, I can empower you to understand and change the underlying dynamics to promote intimacy and connection.

It's exhausting always being the "strong" one that everyone turns to when they need something, isn't it? You're the one who gets things done. You're always making sure everyone else is ok before you take care of yourself. You're running on empty but you feel like you can't stop or all the balls will drop. It doesn't feel like there is anyone else you can count on to pick them up. You might also be a deep feeler and you carry emotional weight for others too. You're highly intuitive too. It often feels like you are not enough, no matter what you do. You're here because the weight of it is bringing you down and you need support.

This is too much. This is too overwhelming. How do I find my grounding? Motherhood comes with so many challenges. I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!

When life is hard, therapy helps. Sadness, anxiety, issues in our relationships, complications of aging, work stress, illness, family conflict can feel overwhelming. Therapy is a place to sort out what is working for you and what you want to change in life - and it makes change possible. I bring lots of years of experience and a belief in the positive effect of warmth and humor combined with evidence based therapeutic strategies.
