When we think and act in ways that don’t align with who we are, it can cause us to treat ourselves or others badly. In other words: who you are is not who you’re being. It can feel directionless when we want to feel like ourselves again, but don't know where to start. I have felt this way myself and know how defeating it can feel -this is why I want to help. If you have been feeling off for a long time or just a short while, the most important thing is to make one step towards something good. As a therapist, I can give you direction and work with you to step towards the version of yourself you want to be.

During hard times, we can lose our sense of self and struggle to get it back. We are all complex multifaceted people with many different parts of us, which can often cause symptoms that get in the way of relationships, productivity, or cause feelings of depression, anxiety and hopelessness. Together, let's work to recover your sense of well-being and then build a life where you are thriving beyond your struggles. I utilize IFS as a primary modality as well as take an eclectic approach, meaning I use a variety of techniques based on what your situation calls for, at the time you need it the most.

I am currently only accepting new clients for Assessments (ADHD, learning disabilities, mood disorders, etc). Do you feel stuck, or at an impasse in your current life? Perhaps the use of a substance or a behavior has become a larger piece of your life than you wanted it to. It could be that anxiety or depression have kept you from achieving what you want, or being who you want to be. Maybe you’ve had a change in your life that’s been difficult to handle. Perhaps your child/teen is having difficulty at home or in school. I have experience working with clients of all ages, and tailor my approach to each individual.

I believe that life is about one simple thing: connections. This belief inspired the name of Connections Counseling, LLC. When we feel connected (to our true selves, intimate relationships, family, friends, career, a purpose larger than us, etc.), we tend to have positive mental well being. I believe I can aid you, no matter what mental ailments you may feel, in connecting to broken or missing attachments and obtaining a new sense of mental health through this process.

I am grateful to have been a part of helping so many individuals, couples, and blending families resolve their issues over the past 35 years. While the experience has honed my therapy skills, each new person or relationship is unique and requires exploring solutions that fit their individual personality.

Asking for help can be scary. It is my goal to normalize mental health struggles and seeking an outside perspective to learn and grow.
