When life is painful and overwhelming, I will listen. If you are struggling with addictions, I can help. When your relationship feels broken, I will give you tools. And if your self-esteem is hurting, I can provide skills to grow. Often childhood or adult trauma challenges your beliefs and you struggle with depression or anxiety.

Counseling is safe and confidential for women, men, couples and adolescents who are dealing with addictions, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, anger, incest, infidelity, women's issues, and PTSD.

Everyone thinks you have it all together. You appear confident, happy and organized. You seem to have a good life. But your reality is that you're overwhelmed and you may feel like you're barely keeping it together. That voice inside of you is constantly telling you that you aren't good enough. You probably feel like you're taking care of everyone else all of the time - but never yourself. Maybe you've even been drinking too much to try to take the edge off sometimes. What you've tried to feel better doesn't seem to help. All you know is that you're exhausted, unhappy and don't know what to do anymore. Does this sound like you?

No matter how frustrated you feel right now, let your dreams guide you. Knowing what you want is a good start. Then together we can address what stands in your way --anxiety, fear, depression, old patterns, troubled relationships. Everyone wants success and love yet with all the seeming options, the basics may be harder than ever to achieve. Knowing when to stick with a relationship, when to leave, how to get and give the love you want; knowing how to parent, how to find the work you want, how to succeed once you find it. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who want to live up to their own potential.

When you're at a crossroads, what drives the choices you make? I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist helping my clients take charge of their life's direction. In college, I received life changing advice from a creative writing professor. She wrote "this character has no agency" on a paper where the protagonist was a not-so-subtle self-insert. And she was absolutely right; my choices were driven by side characters. This realization sparked something in me that I hope everyone gets to experience: serious main character energy. My skills and training, and that of my associates, are now at your disposal for exactly that purpose.

There are times when navigating life's difficulties can be especially challenging and you're not quite sure how you'll get through.

"Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while you could miss it"- This is one of my favorite quotes from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day off because it is so true. Things happen to us throughout our lifetime that make us feel stuck, worthless, guilty, shamed, and like we are never enough. These ideas about ourselves dictate the way we learn, how we do in school and work, and how we love and connect to others. When someone has experienced trauma, these thoughts and feelings can be even more extreme which can cause significant distress. Growth and Empowerment is accepting new clients!

“Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger. It takes strength to face our sadness, and to grieve, and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings, and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.” ― Fred Rogers - I believe we all have the ability to overcome life's many challenges. But sometimes we can get stuck. Stuck in unhealthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors that prevent us from leading fulfilling lives. We are not alone in this.

Life can be highly complex, with obstacles overwhelming the healthiest of minds. The decision to seek counseling is often not an easy one. Successful therapy is more than the absence of symptoms or issues, it is a life enriched with increased self-awareness/compassion/empowerment.

Healing happens in relationships when there's true and honest connections with others, but more importantly within oneself.
