In addition I have expertise in women's health and I have helped women cope with infertility,
pregnancy
, post-partum, and child rearing.
I help people understand how one's thoughts and feelings are connected and how self knowledge can alter behavior and mood. You can begin to redefine how you view yourself in the world by building an interpersonal, here-and-now relationship. Together, we will explore your history and your interpersonal dynamics to better understand your current concerns. Our work together will serve as the backbone for personal growth and it will help you navigate changes in your life.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I specialize in relational dynamics including miscommunication, sexual issues, conflict within committed relationships, alcohol/substance abuse,
postpartum
depression, and parenting.
Experiencing life's challenges can be overwhelming, stressful, and most difficult of all - isolating. Cultivating healthy interpersonal relationships with family members, a significant other, and friends can also feel out of reach. By providing a safe and non-judgmental environment, I encourage clients to identify their feelings, process various stressors, work towards emotional healing, and improve interpersonal relationships. Together, we can collaborate and strive after your goals regarding relationships and various life transitions.

“I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason. Bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return“.I’d like to thank Stephen Schwartz for borrowing his lyrics from Wicked, as I’ve always seen the journey of therapy as the need to grow and learn how to navigate life’s many challenges. In our fast paced society, many people feel inadequate, worried, and that they go through the motions of daily living. Children often face impossible tasks and are made to feel “less than”. Others have suffered from trauma and need help to heal from suffering.

Therapy is a place to talk to someone outside of your every day life. It's a place to gain insight into what is going on within yourself, and to learn more about your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. You may begin therapy due to a serious life event, or simply to improve your mood, your lifestyle, or your relationships. I will ask questions and offer feedback to help you look at your problems differently, to make more sense of what's going on in your life, and to unravel difficult issues. We will work together as you decide what changes you may want to begin to make.

It gets steadily more difficult getting through days with the stress of living up to world standards. Do you find yourself increasingly overwhelmed, anxious, or upset? Do these feelings end up affecting your sense of self-worth, your decisions, or your relationships? Maybe it’s become impossible to manage your time, motivate yourself, or set healthy boundaries. Or maybe you overthink everything, and if it's not daily stressors getting to you, it's familiar situations or memories from your past.

Grace Street Counseling is here to provide support. You don't have to figure it all out on your own.

Sometimes life brings us challenges that we feel unprepared for, leaving us feeling blind-sided and struggling to find our way. We may even find that our usual ways of coping aren’t working, and our usual support people do not understand us. Life can feel so lonely even when we are not alone. Are you experiencing anxiety, stress, or sadness in your life? Adjusting to a major life transition? I can help you, support you on your journey. Together we will work through the challenges that life has sent your way, so that you can achieve the peace of mind and confidence you are searching for.

As an art psychotherapist and licensed counselor with 20+ years’ experience supporting young children, their parents, and pregnant/
postpartum
women, I specialize in the journey to and through parenthood.
Parents often worry about their child when alarming behaviors emerge. Challenges that arise in childhood can impact one’s mood, how one copes with stress, and identity formation. Similar issues can arise for parents who may be experiencing this role for the first time, impacting one’s ability to bond with their children. Early intervention can support children as young as infancy to promote healthy functioning into adulthood as well as support parents who may be experiencing difficult feelings related to their own history.
