I started my business with one thing in mind: How to help others find what took me a long time to find for myself, joy. I’ve worked in behavioral health for nearly 30 years. In that time I’ve learned that the only barriers to my joy are the ones I created for myself. Being mindful, I worked toward healthier habbits and setting boundaries. I hope to share my skills and experience with my clients to help them achieve their own success.

Are you caught between the chaos of ADHD and life demands? Is your journey filled with distractions, setbacks, and surprises?

Are you ready to embark on a path of relieving your individual and relational traumas, stresses, and conflicts? We all carry the burden of unresolved pain from our past: from our family of origin, from societal and cultural expectations, from ways in which we were taught to compromise our nature, the list goes on. With guidance, presence with feeling, and creating new meaning we can let go of the past so that we can open to the present.

Relationships are what bring us joy in our lives, but sometimes despite our best efforts we come upon a stumbling block. We find ourselves struggling or unable to connect to those we love and sometimes even to ourselves. Maybe issues from past relationships get in the way, maybe there is a trauma to the relationship (such as illness, job loss, or simply entering a new stage of life such as parenthood or midlife). There may have been an infidelity, loss of job, or emotional issues such as depression / anxiety. Often we just feel a lack of connection we once had.

I help worried people calm their busy minds, and reconnect to their deeper selves.

Do you need parenting support? Does your child struggle with behavior and "big feelings?" Do typical parenting strategies not work for you? Perhaps your child is deeply feeling and you feel lost how to support them? You want to have boundaries, but don't know where to start? This is normal. Children can have difficulty managing their emotions, and developmentally, they do not always have the language to communicate or express them. I would love to help you navigate life's challenges, reduce stress and build a confident authentic parents.

I focus on supporting people through life transitions including divorce, fertility, and grief/loss.

Life is unpredictable with many ups and downs. No matter how much we want life to move in a linear fashion it often goes unplanned causing us to feel off balance. I believe therapy is a safe place to begin your own personal journey and learning to be present in your life. It allows you to rediscover who you are. Therapy is different for every individual and/or couple. I have an EMDR, existential & integrative approach to helping clients create healthy, fulfilling and rewarding lives. I integrate therapeutic styles depending on the best fit for client and situation.

If you are feeling anxious, or struggling to know and express how you feel, therapy is a great place to start. It can be hard to trust yourself, and believe you are worthy. You may feel guilty speaking up for yourself or taking time for self care. It can be hard to feel better on your own. Your challenges can't be solved by doing the same things you've always done. I believe everyone is their own best healer, but it can be hard without support. I can help you discover why you feel the way you do, help you believe you are worth committing to change, and find practical ways to feel better and move forward in your life.
