Sometimes life transitions, even celebrated ones such as the birth of a child or retirement, can create feelings of loss, new roles and questioning. I help people through all life transitions, grief & loss, and trauma. I also enjoy working with couples navigating challenges of parenting, work/life stressors, communication, and understanding partner's anxiety or depression. Clients who work with me tend to need support to break out of negative patterns, understand themselves and partners' needs better, and have a desire to achieve a higher quality of life & relationships.

The journey toward healing and overall mental health can be difficult, and often, the most challenging part is knowing where to begin. You may feel stuck or even overwhelmed. My role is to eliminate that complexity, so you can concentrate on the path to recovery, and ultimately free yourself to focus on what matters to you most – your family, your career, your relationships. With specializations in research-based modalities - including EMDR, I empower my clients with the knowledge and understanding to face their challenges, stressors, or symptoms head-on. And in that process, free yourself from the mental barriers and fog weighing you down.

The purpose of therapy is generally straight forward. Individuals seek professional help when conflict in their world causes pain. In the counseling session, clients share their concerns and therapists share their training and professional experience . I believe that it is my responsibility to provide a safe place where clients can talk about their thoughts, feelings and experiences in a non-judgmental atmosphere. My approach is interactive, validating,
compassionate and collaborative. Depending on the client and/or the specific situation, I work from a variety of perspectives.

Seeing BCBS & UHC Medicare Advantage! I am here to work with you to develop resilience against anxiety, depression---and any other painful or distressing issue. I am hoping for you to have a happy, creative, and productive life in a world full of challenges. Many patients need to verbalize their fears to be able to look at their situation from multiple perspectives. You can face the irrational aspects of worrisome thoughts. We can consider your prior coping mechanisms, to be replaced by more adaptive coping tools. Let's think of your life today and forward, accepting yourself more, and understanding how to deal with others.

I believe that therapy can be helpful for everyone. Every stage of life brings its own unique challenges and speaking with a therapist can help bring clarity, closure, and a new perspective to our lives. I use a variety of theoretical frameworks to help my clients, I don't believe one way of looking at things provides the best help for each individual. You are an individual and your life journey looks different to everyone else, so I tailor your therapy to you personally. Why are you looking to therapy, what do you want to achieve, help me plan your therapy session, but also I like to explore what experiences have shaped you.

"Who do you want to be?" "How do you want to show up in your life?" These are significant questions. If you are struggling to find yourself and want to show up differently in your life, consider seeking counseling. Change is hard but it can be more successful with a little bit of assistance from a professional. I am well equipped to assist and have a warm, non-judgmental, caring way to guide you in pursuing change.

Life’s challenges can dredge up anxiety, anger, depression, fear, guilt, and shame, and we can seemingly lose our way. Life’s challenges also present opportunities for growth, deep healing, and the reintegration of lost parts of ourselves. In my work with clients, I provide a nurturing, supportive environment to express and explore challenging thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and outdated coping mechanisms. I help clients struggling with addiction, trauma, relationship issues, or who have lost touch with their general sense of aliveness. I aim to help clients experience greater freedom, vitality, joy, and well-being.

Pain exists to make us pay attention. Trying desperately not to hurt, we compromise our integrity, our hearts and our sense of self, on some misguided mission to be invulnerable, to please, to care-take, or just to belong...Somewhere along the way, our vision of ourselves loses focus. Therapy can help create a new template for living. Research shows us that the brain can actually re-wire itself in the context of a secure relationship, developing new capacities for self-soothing, obtaining perspective, and being intimate. I believe that all suffering bears embedded gifts, if we look hard enough.
