Happy New Year. This is a great time to get support on those personal goals. You may have concerns about patterns in personal relationships or feel used or taken for granted. It can be hard to set new boundaries and figure out how to have important but difficult talks. I can provide a non-biased supportive ear to listen, connect and encourage you. Clients that I work with say that we are able to improve stress reactions and combat negative self talk.

I love helping clients find ways to cope with their depression and anxiety. Hopelessness and helplessness are two emotions that are damaging if not acknowledged and addressed. Everyone experiences some form of somber mood but when this mood is not addressed, it easily turns into a disorder that can be very hard to cope with on a daily basis. I want to help you with coping with this debilitating illness. It can be defeated but only through work. I have the tools to make it work for you.

My previous work in adoption has also given me insight into struggles that couples face building their families, and the various paths this process can take.
Life can often be hard and unexpected challenges can happen to anyone. I believe that having the support of someone in our corner can help us discover our unique qualities so we can emerge from difficulties stronger than we ever thought possible. I will provide a compassionate and supportive environment while we embark on your journey of growth and healing. Taking this first step is often very difficult and I invite you to contact me and see if counseling is right for you and if I would be a good fit for your needs.

My ideal clients are teens and families who feel overwhelmed by emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges and want support that feels safe and understanding. They may be navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, suicidal thoughts, or the stress of caring for a child with complex medical or mental health needs. What they need most is someone who listens, meets them where they are, and helps them build coping skills and stronger relationships. Their goal is to feel less alone, more stable, and more hopeful about the future.

This may include navigating family conflict, anxiety, addiction, adoption,disordered eating, long-standing family-of-origin patterns or working through family disapproval around identity, including LGBTQ+ experiences, supporting children or teens (including those with special needs), or working with athletes navigating performance, identity and pressure.
You may find yourself caught in familiar relational patterns—within your family, with your children, or internally—aware something isn’t working, but unsure how to create lasting change. Even with insight, the same dynamics keep repeating, leaving you feeling stuck, frustrated, and disconnected in your relationships or within yourself. This work is for those ready to go beneath the surface—where insight begins to translate into meaningful change. Together, we focus on emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and building more intentional ways of communicating and connecting in daily life and across different environments.
