When do you to take your car in for service? Warning lights or routine maintenance guide these decisions to keep our vehicles in optimal working condition. Without the required service, your vehicle will fail to operate. Relationships also stop working when we do not maintain them. Similar to vehicles, we often need additional assistance to get it up and running. Is your relationship due for a tune-up or a complete overhaul? Outside of a thorough assessment I will help individuals and couples navigate through their symptoms and relational stress by not only fostering insight, but encouraging an ability to tackle future obstacles.

Many of my clients come to therapy seeking support when they find themselves overwhelmed or feeling trapped. They express a desire for assistance in coping with issues like anxiety, stress, depression, and anger, and with cultivating healthier relationships. Each client and couple I work with brings their own unique narrative to the table. I place great importance on understanding how life experiences shape one's self-perception and relationships, and I am dedicated to guiding them through the journey of personal growth and change.

Parenting a child with baffling and challenging behaviors can be lonely and isolating. When I adopted my own children, I just wanted to be a mom. I thought that love was enough. The reality is, these children have suffered enormous loss and trauma and often display challenging behaviors. I am blessed that I am able to walk alongside families on their path to healing and share what I have learned. I have been a pediatric critical care nurse for 19 years. I have spent my career helping children and their families during what was most likely one of the most challenging and stressful times in their lives.

Are you feeling emotionally overwhelmed? Are you looking for more fulfillment in your day-to-day? Are you ready to make some changes in order to improve your quality of life? You deserve to be the happy and productive individual you desire to be.

Everyone is doing the best that they can. But, often, "our best" feels far from what we imagine our best life to be. For so many, no matter what or how hard they try, they are stuck in patterns that don't change. This can lead to self-condemnation, shame and a loss of hope. In some cases, the problems began after an illness (like Covid) or a concussion. What if I told you that maybe its not "you." Maybe its your brain.

My therapy & counseling are based on the life experiences and the philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His writings describe the kinds of the situation from which he and his fellow prisoners at Auschwitz were able, on a day-to-day basis, to extract the life-sustaining meaning that was essential to their survival. My therapy has three levels: (1) use mindfulness and relaxation methods to calm the emotional brain down, and (2) use cognitive-behavioral to develop a healthy sense of resiliency. In the 3rd stage, you will learn self-distancing techniques to discover meaningfulness at the moment and find better ways to expand your uniqueness.

The therapeutic relationship can be a rewarding experience, allowing clients to take what is learned in therapy and use it in everyday relationships and experiences. My goal is to provide a warm and supportive environment, in which we will work together to identify the factors contributing to stress and create a plan to develop coping skills and empowerment.

Food was my best friend and my worst enemy. I would constantly anticipate the pleasure of eating something and simultaneously fight every impulse to "give in". If you are caught up in a war with food and your body, I get it. It probably feels like you're all alone in it, a warrior fighting a hidden battle that no one else can see, and you're desperate to win. I've been on the battle field too, and I found my way out. As a health coach and counselor, I have 15 years of experience working with women who struggle with emotional eating, binging, and over-eating.

I love to help people begin again to get healthy, well and strong. Whether they are coming through a physical or mental illness, divorce, grief or other life transition, being knocked down in any way, requires support to get back up and start again. I am support.
