I have experience working with many different kinds of people and issues, though most of my work has been with adults overcoming sadness, worry, expectation, self-doubt, stress, loss, trauma, and more.
The process of becoming who you want to be is a daunting task. The realities of life and the complexities of our modern world can be overwhelming, and seeking help can bring its own form of stress. But here you are, pushing forward! My counseling practice is grounded in the idea that you are not the problem, the problem is the problem. You and I will work together to examine your relationship with the problem and break down what sustains it. We’ll find those moments in which you transcend, and we’ll consider what this might mean for you as you write the next chapters of your life.

In therapy we delve into the obstacles that keep you from your goals, the effects of your past and the stress responses that deplete your energy.
When you reach the point where you're considering therapy, it's likely that your life is not going the way you would like and you don’t know how to fix it. You may feel overwhelmed and don’t have the energy to manage your complex, demanding responsibilities. Maybe your relationships are not very supportive, and you feel alone in facing what seem to be life’s constant battles. Perhaps you want to move beyond some traumatic experiences but you don't have much hope that things can get better. You want to feel stronger, better about yourself, and you’d like relate to those around you in a more meaningful, compassionate way.

If you or a loved one are struggling to cope with changing abilities, the challenge of moving into a senior community or nursing home, or just general life stress I would love to hear from you today so we can get started on getting you the solutions and support you need right away.
Life transitions can be overwhelming. New beginnings, new diagnoses, and endings often create feelings of uncertainty and fear. There are a lot of practical things to attend to, of course, but the mental and emotional load of managing it all can feel isolating and scary without support. Whether you are a caregiver, a person dealing with health challenges yourself, or someone just struggling to manage general life stress, counseling support can help lighten the load you're carrying. It's not necessary to keep struggling on your own or trying to piece things together yourself without an experienced guide.

Life isn't always in our control (and no, I'm not a fan of that either). In therapy, we can learn to manage the things within our control - so that we are better equipped to contend with life’s inevitable ups and downs. Whether you're experiencing a big transition, stress from everyday life, a personal loss, or chronic issues - we can work together to make things easier. I have experience working with individuals with a variety of concerns & mental/physical health issues. I strive to make everyone - of any body shape/size, sexuality, gender, race, religion, or disability - comfortable in the therapy room (and in their own skins).
