We all assume so many important roles in our lives, we often lose sight of who we are as people. This can be especially true in times of change like marriage, the birth of a child, illness, children moving out of the home or back in, divorce, difficulties at work or at home, and a death of a love one. Often we end up feeling lost, anxious, and unsure of what we want or even who we are.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and workplace stress using science-based strategies that get results.
