Life need not be filled with anxiety. Feel anxious? Stressed out? Lonely? Depressed? That life has no meaning? Does it feel like something is just not quite right? Relationships struggling? Let’s work together to make life different. We’ll look systematically at anxiety as well as the emotional processes and triggers that create stress in life. Knowing the processes and triggers that impact life negatively can help to make a better tomorrow. We’ll explore together how to manage the triggers of anxiety that impact life learning how to manage anxiety rather than having it manage you.
I offer a time and place to think, explore concerns, make new plans, and try new possibilities. An expert in anxiety, emotional processes, and relationships. I am a systematic thinker trained in clinical theory, ritual studies, and spirituality. Post-Graduate Certificate in Bowen Family Systems Theory. Trained by Dr. Robert L. Moore Neo-Jungian Analyst.
As a LCSW and Ordained Minister in the United Church of Christ (UCC), I am happy to integrate faith, religion, and spirituality, or not - your choice. I’m dedicated to helping create a hope-filled, meaning-filled resilient life. Together we’ll explore many different possibilities and begin to create a new tomorrow.

As a systematic thinker and clinician, I use an integration of Bowen Family Systems Theory, Jungian psychoanalysis, and a strengths-based perspective. I also integrate concepts from mindfulness, positive psychology, and spirituality when beneficial. We'll explore the anxieties of life that impact less than optimal functioning and strive to experiment with new possibilities toward a new tomorrow.
