If you are going through something and need some support, it would be my honor to try to help you out. What you might face now may have something to do with the past, and may also impact the future for the worse if something isn't done now, in the present. I would enjoy working with you to consider the past and future while also focusing on the present as much as possible in order to glean what is most within your control, what are your resources and options, your abilities and limitations, how do we honor and validate these while also encouraging some change, and how do we tolerate what is outside of our control, etc.

My Philosophy in treatment is that each of us, myself included, endures pain and suffering caused from difficult life circumstances and from broken relationships. Each individual also possess within him or herself the gifts and strengths which build resiliency that helps overcome these obstacles in life's journeys. The counseling process is helping the client draw out these gifts and strengths and learn to develop them. I am committed to offering the same type of compassion to my clients that I would want extended to me or my family.

I love my work. You may want a quiet, protected space where you can think out loud - with the freedom to follow your thoughts to their own (surprising?) conclusions. Or you may want a more active interaction, a back-and-forth exchange to wrestle with difficult emotions and come out the other side feeling more settled and self-directed in your life. My first job is to meet you wherever you are - wanting help with an immediate crisis, or wishing to explore a past experience that continues to haunt you.

You just had a baby and to your unfortunate surprise, you are not well. Everything has changed from your relationship to your husband, your body, yourself and your work. It’s all now different. And while parts of it are good, like really really good, there’s something keeping you from being a better version of you and it’s creating toxicity. There is some part of you that is afraid you actually have lost your mind and there is also some part of you that is having a very hard time staying on your best behavior. Of course everything that you’re feeling is perfectly justified and that’s how it feels to you, but not one person gets it.

I value creating a therapeutic plan for you that is effective and offers tangible outcomes tailored to meet your personal objectives.
