Change is hard. For some of us it is simply a need to explore a specific issue, job change, relationship exploration, or a goal for our future. For others, long held negative thoughts/ beliefs, anxiety and depression can paralyze moving forward, leaving us floundering for years. Regardless, change is possible. It is your turn, there is hope.

We all experience changes on a daily basis. However, its during the more difficult times that we may want some guidance and support to help us navigate through the storm. I assist clients toward developing steps toward meeting their goals, processing through identified barriers and maintaining focus thru treatment. I believe that even the difficult changes have the potential to transform into positive outcomes.

I have been licensed/practice for thirty-two years and I have learned much about human nature. The most important lesson, 'everyone is an individual and unique'. I, therefore, frame my sessions to 'fit' my patient's individual personalities. For the most part, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is the only orientation clinically proven to help patients. It allows patients to reflect and partake in the therapy sessions. This orientation allows the patient more control over their own wellbeing. When working with teens I practice Solution Focused sessions. Solution Focused is a CBT geared towards younger patients.

Everyone wants to be their best selves. Adjusting to change and facing new challenges affects our health and happiness. You need to be able to vent about life stressors and decompress.

“Change is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.” It is easy to feel stuck when the negative self talk, and the painful memories consistently show up. People tell you you look like you have it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed, irritable, anxious and burnt out. I help women break free from these pain points to live the lifestyle they desire. Our sessions together would be tailored to your needs to break through anxieties, negative cycles, traumas, and to create a lifestyle design that meets your needs through a holistic lens.

Even when we have tremendous anxiety and pain, the strength and resilience we desire already reside within us. During times of stress, grief or uncertainty, it is common to forget this and to adopt maladaptive styles of coping and communicating that tend to deepen our distress. Sometimes we fall back into negative thinking based on faulty core beliefs about ourselves and the world. I will hold space for you with empathy and non-judgment. You will be seen, you will be heard, and you will be supported in your growth.
