On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all figured out, but beneath the surface, it's getting harder and harder to keep things together. You have dreams of the life that could be, but worry, stress, and self-criticism hold you back. You do so much for your career and your relationships, but always wonder if it’s enough. You wonder if YOU are enough. You’ve probably said to yourself, “I don’t NEED therapy, but…”, or “I should be able to deal with this on my own.” Let me assure you that whatever you’re going through, not only is it okay to ask for help, but it just may be the best step you can take toward living your best life!

How many times have you sat to research therapists in your area?

Maybe you've been feeling like it's been harder to keep things together at times, or you have goals/decisions you'd like to reach but a little something keeps pulling at you. Are you experiencing the "wonderment" they call life? Everyone experiences these spaces as a symptom of simply being human. We are multifaceted which gives us greater meaning and pushes us towards growth, though sometimes we can benefit from a respectful, trustworthy, judgment-free space that is tailored to your individual needs exactly where you are in your journey.

Does it ever feel that part of you wants one thing while another part is telling you something else? Your inner critic is at battle with your binge Netflix watcher, or your responsible part is upset with your procrastinator part…there are many combinations that can show up. Often these parts can appear at odds with each other and we act in ways that seem counter-productive to what we want or how we want to be. I can help you balance these parts to make you a better whole. We will work to empower your inner core of strength and facilitate its relationship with each of your many parts to allow them to heal and take on healthy roles.

Everyone suffers many losses in their lifetime. Grief is our reaction to loss based on what we have learned from childhood, what we have experienced as adults, and how we have chosen to respond. We then struggle to determine how to evolve and change. The grieving process does not follow a prescribed path. There are many commonalities to the grieving process, yet the journey is unique to the individual. Loss is typically defined as a death, but may take many forms: a relationship, a job, a pet. I specialize in many types of Grief and Transitions including Anticipatory. Absent, Complicated, Disenfranchised, Chronic, Delayed and Inhibited.

As individuals, partners, or parents, we know when something is out of sync. Changing situations, relationships and emotions are all part of the human condition. Sometimes we struggle to adjust. How we act -- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually-- all determine our level of health. I specialize in mood disorders, trauma, bereavement, and suicide survivors. My clients are the experts. They experience the situation. I observe and listen, provide support, and suggest tools they may use as they challenge themselves, as they find a better to deal with their problems. Small changes equal big impacts in our lives.
