Worry, stress, and poor sleep have become all too familiar. Maybe a sense of hopelessness, helplessness or just feeling stuck are common thoughts. You may be in a marriage or relationship that has become increasingly more difficult, more conflicted, less loving and passionate, and you are wondering if you should stay, go, or if anything can change. You’ve set goals, you’ve given yourself pep talks, you’ve promised yourself you’ll change, but it’s not working. Usually, you can snap out of it, but this feels different. Often these challenges feel all consuming, and having a trusted and qualified person walk alongside you is helpful.

Are you satisfied with the direction of your life? Are you having the life experiences that you are longing for? If not, you are not alone. Life can be challenging at times. It can steer us away from what we want or need. It can take us down paths that we may not necessarily want to be on. Together, we can deepen the relationship you have with yourself, connect to your innermost needs and desires, identify patterns in behavior, and work through roadblocks and barriers. My goal is to empower you to lead a life that is meaningful to you.

You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but this feels different. Normally you could handle it yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling overwhelmed, lost in ambivalence, stressed, anxious and not sure what can help. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past, not feeling like yourself or the idea that now is the time to make real change and get help.

I believe one's mental health is the foundation for overall health and longevity. Feeling scene, heard and supported are the cornerstones of positive mental health. Having a safe sounding board can be life changing and my goal with clients is to make sure that they know they don't have to hold life's "heavy stuff" alone. Learning how to re-connect to self as well as improve communication with others is a focus when working together.

I believe that we all do our best to navigate the stresses of life, and sometimes in the journey we feel directionless, knocked down, or pulled between competing paths. It may be that something isn’t working, but you haven’t quite figured out what. Although feeling stuck can be scary or unsettling, you do not have to go through it alone. I strive to be trauma-informed and culturally sensitive in my therapeutic approach. My hope is to create a safe space for my clients to feel empowered to face and manage their suffering, learn what makes them resilient, and work toward what they value.

As a licensed psychotherapist, I have spent 30 years weaving experience and wisdom from thousands of hours with clients seeking clarity, healing and hope. These women and men have arrived to the counseling “couch” grappling with a question: are they worthy or lovable due to experiencing rejection, loss, betrayal, shame, neglect and regrets? Healing comes in all shapes and sizes yet with one distinct, constant truth …in order to befriend oneself, emotional wounds must be healed. To embark on this repair; courage, curiosity and comfort are necessary tools. To strive for contentment; kindness, clarity and patience must be cultivated.

We are all searching for something and we are all on a journey. Some of us are trying to make our way toward a more complete and genuine sense of self and identity. Many of us struggle to utilize positive coping to deal with previous challenges and future obstacles. Others of us are young, experiencing intense emotions, and do not know how to handle them. Some of us are parents who genuinely want to be more calm and peaceful around our kids. And there are also many of us who are facing big life changes, feeling unprepared for what we will find on the road ahead. All of us need an experienced and supportive guide along the way.
