Do you find yourself struggling with loss or life changes and find it difficult to cope? Are you having symptoms of anxiety, depression, addictive or unhealthy behaviors? When many think of loss and grief, one may assume they have lost a loved one. At times this is the case, but there are so many kinds of losses we are faced with in our lives; loss of self, loss of roles in life, loss of relationship, chronic illness and many more. Losses can cause us to question our lives and who we are, and can even bring up past hurts or negative ways of coping that are not helping us achieve our best selves.
I have been in the helping field since 1996, obtaining my LICSW in 2008. I have had the opportunity to help people in multiple settings and from different walks of life, which gives me the benefit of seeing things from different perspectives. As a therapist, I work from different types of therapy depending on what your need may be.
I'm here to help you figure out what your needs and goals are, and to help you gain the insight you may need to make positive changes in your life, change unwanted behaviors, and the way you relate to others. Call or email me so we can start the process.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression, especially related to life changes and loss. We will explore the current situation and how current (and possibly past experiences) may be affecting one's life, decisions, interactions, and ways of coping. We will work together to figure out what steps may be needed to move toward a place of healing.

I use a mix of treatment approaches depending on the clients' issues and what makes sense. I often focus on mindfulness and self-compassion. Practicing mindfulness helps us be "in the moment." Self-compassion is important to learn during the healing process. Often, we are our own worst critic and forget or don't know how to treat ourselves with kindness and understanding.
