You don't have to feel the way you are feeling forever. You have tried a number of different things and things aren’t working. You're not sure where to start but feel that doing it alone seems impossible and daunting. The individual I typically see feels stuck and wants to make the necessary changes to improve their communication for self and others, build their self-esteem and confidence, process emotions, and recover. Therapy provides a nonjudgmental space to work through life's hardships and stressors. Change can be very difficult however so is staying in the same place.

Do you have racing thoughts, sleepless nights? Is your thinking stuck in anxious patterns of what-ifs making it hard to focus? Do you have feelings of sadness that interfere with daily life? **NEW CLIENTS** I will be providing all new clients with telehealth sessions including video and phone counseling. Insurances now cover teletherapy. Researchers have found that teletherapy is just as effective as face-to-face care and provides a practical opportunity for those with limited time or access to counselors.

I understand how chronic anxiety and stress create unhappiness. When you're struggling with anxiety or depression and constantly being bullied by intrusive thoughts you can't truly enjoy life. When you're struggling with overwhelm and burnout you can't find meaning and purpose. If you want to develop new effective coping skills, this approach is ideal for you. You will be empowered to take control over the direction of your life and cultivate healthy ways to deal with thoughts and feelings. You'll develop some breathing room to better engage your day to day behaviors and live the pleasurable, purposeful life you deserve.

Being a new parent, no matter how you came into the role, can be difficult. It’s not unusual to experience feelings of sadness, anger, irritability, or intrusive, unsettling thoughts. My goal is to give you a safe place to vent your feelings, and work through your specific challenges in order to come to a happier place in your life, and love yourself for the awesome person you are. I have speciality training working with Postpartum depression and anxiety from Postpartum Support International, and I come to session as a fellow birthing person/parent who can empathize with your experience.

Relationship struggles are my focus, and these may be considered alone or together. We can work to help you navigate high-stakes situations to strengthen your most intimate, important attachments. We all need to feel understood, and deserve to feel loved. Through a relational, systemic approach, we can explore and strengthen your connecting bonds and place within them. Life is as much about how we tell our stories as it is the content of these narratives. Attachment is a key part of my work with romantic / sexual partners and families. Being newly seen and heard in more complete ways can be transformative and hope-inducing.
