Just because you carry it well, doesn't mean it isn't heavy. You deserve more than just being seen. The world is a scary and ever-changing place. Dealing with uncertainty, transition, and challenges puts stress on relationships, and on personal values. Curiosity, mindfulness , and a dialectical approach makes it possible to find meaning, and even pleasure, in some of the most bleak situations, with the right support.

I have spent 30 years helping individuals, couples and families address issues of substance abuse, co-dependency, adult children of substance abuse as well as the many life issues that contributed to these problems. As an expert in these areas, I love nothing more than helping others with these challenges. There is so much more to addiction and recovery than just not using. And even if a person has never used, just being in a dysfunctional family can lead to a lifetime of problems. I recognize the courage needed to reach out for help – and I know that it is worth the risk.

Life can feel better. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and social isolation or challenges, and who need support related to life transitions, employment or education, relationships, health, etc. Therapy is an opportunity to share your story and find hope, to identify your personal goals and develop realistic plans for implementing change. I assist my clients to learn and use coping and mindfulness strategies, executive function and problem solving skills, communication skills, social and emotional awareness, self acceptance and self advocacy.

More adults, adolescents and children are experiencing depression and anxiety than ever before. Family, work, academics, social stress and isolation can affect us emotionally and physically.

Some of us experience severe trauma and develop PTSD. At some time we are need support. It is never weak to ask for help.
