Sometimes life just becomes too much to manage alone. Maybe it's uncontrolled anxiety or overwhelming sadness that is interfering with your daily activities. Many people struggle with fear that they don't outwardly recognize. So many as well, hold onto long standing negative self beliefs that they live their life believing they are not good enough, not whole, or lost. Finding a therapist that you trust and feel comfortable with is the beginning of a new and hopeful chapter in your life. Together we build a bridge between the past and a brighter future. The environment I hope to create for each of my patients is one of warmth, safety

My goal is to guide clients towards building self-compassion and improving their confidence. You deserve to take time to invest in your personal well-being.

Are you struggling with issues related to major life changes, relationship issues, anxiety, trauma, or grief? There comes a time when help is needed from a certified professional to cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Over 20 years experience helping individuals and couples to improve relationships and professional situations that may affect their self image and esteem. Our work together will focus on finding the core issues which have blocked you from using your assets to develop your fullest potential. Depending on your needs we can work on a short term or sometimes a longer term treatment plans for anxiety, depression, grief and or loss issues. I have worked together with my clients to achieve success on commitment life styles and developing healthy partnerships.

I imagine my ideal patient is ready, willing, and able to do the work. They want to gain insight and really take a good look at themselves and the issues they want to address in therapy. Also, my ideal client makes good eye contact and is a good communicator, and has some motivation to change or learn about themselves. My ideal client wants to take time to sort through the various intersecting dimensions of their lives which may need improvement and explore solutions from perhaps a different perspective. My ideal client needs validation and support and is not afraid to express these feelings in a safe and non-judgmental space.

My practice is highly individualized and client centered with a focus on the presenting problem as described by the client (s). Together, we will begin the process of understanding and resolving the issues that have brought you to counseling. Through insight and proactive behavioral changes you should be able to reach your goals in a timely manner. I will partner with you as you go through your life transitions and develop new strategies of coping and adaptation as well as change. Being a private practice, you will be assured of confidentiality and privacy in an atmosphere that is both nonjudgemental and supportive.

My focus is working with people who may be feeling overwhelmed, worried, depressed, or struggling to manage daily stress. Much of my experience and training is focused on women and families experiencing mood challenges when having a baby (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders), infertility, and adjusting to the many changes during this time. Also, I have much experience working with pre-teens and adolescents who may be struggling emotionally and/or behaviorally.

The gift of the pause…We are all given the gift of the pause. The opportunity to observe without reacting. The opportunity to see things from a different perspective.  The opportunity to reflect & help another person be seen or heard. The opportunity for peace. I am a licensed clinical social worker. My mission is to help couples improve harmony and live more peaceful lives by identifying and changing patterns. Many of us react out of habit. Assumptive thinking, dismissive or aggressive behavior damages relationships. There are many techniques that help with decreasing conflict and increasing harmony such as reflective listening.

There are many stressors in life that may make us feel as though we are drowning, and don’t know how to keep our head above water. These stressors can range from struggles in our relationships, communication issues with relationships/ friends/ family, college transitions into ‘the real world’, anxiety, depression, difficulties at work, struggles with boundary setting, past and present traumas, and much more. We can work together to explore traumatic events that have occurred, & how it impacts mental, physical, & emotional aspects of your life.
