Behavior is changeable but only by the person that has the behavior not by his/her partner, parent, friend etc.

There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” - Jill Churchill. Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s lifetime, yet many women often find themselves feeling unprepared for and overwhelmed with the emotional and relational changes that come along with it. This can lead to feelings of isolation, sadness, worry, irritability, and fear. If you are struggling, you are not alone.

I am a LICSW with 30 years of experience, currently working with individual adults and couples. I am very straghtforward, but my approach is informal, making counseling a safe space where we can work together towards helping you feel and function better. We look at how current circumstances and past history are impacting your life, and explore what changes may be helpful with options developed and advice given if asked. I believe that in-person, rather than tele-health sessions is best practice, though once a relationship is established, occasional telehealth if necessary is available. Appointments available Mon-Sun.
