I am passionate about helping families manage difficult life transitions. Maybe the path to pregnancy hasn't been as easy as you thought it would be, or taking care of a newborn feels overwhelming. It could be that your school age child is facing stress or a change in behavior. Perhaps you are facing a new medical diagnosis, or are a caregiver to someone with a chronic illness. Or, possibly, you need to process your feelings of grief and loss.

If you are struggling with mental health, relational issues, stress, and struggles with substance use, I may be able to help. I have over 20 years of experience. Although I have the knowledge, experience, and skills to pass along, I do not consider myself an expert but rather a sounding board, an interpreter, and support to help clients develop their own insight and trajectory forward. I use a holistic approach incorporating psychodynamic theory, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, developmental psychology, and addiction treatment.

Therapy is for everyone. Your thoughts will determine your perspective, feelings and reactions. Understanding ways to shift your own thinking to create change can be transformational.
