Lonely. Invisible. Unseen. These just begin to describe how you feel about yourself lately. You're always tired, withdrawn, and trying to tolerate the pain. In the worst moments, your thoughts run dark about yourself and others. Life is dull at best, but intolerable when all this flares up. You suspect that others know something is off, but no one is stepping up to help. You've prayed, but it seems God isn't really listening. Half the time you worry, the other half of the time, you just don't care anymore. If snapping out of it was an option, you would have done it a long time ago.

I guide people who are feeling burned out, overwhelmed with life transitions, or who are lacking a sense of purpose and direction in life. Many of my clients include people who belong to often marginalized groups due to their unique life history. Whether you are dealing with strong anxiety and negative self-talk, are neurodivergent or have learning disabilities, are part of the LGBTQ+ community, are at a crossroads in your career, or are struggling with adjusting to US culture, I can be of help. I have a personal life experience with all of these instances, and years of experience supporting others in similar circumstances.

Who am I, and what truly makes me happy? Is this a question you’ve been asking yourself or a question you don’t have the answer to. I specialize in working with women in transition; transitions into or out of caretaking children, in and out of work positions and retirement, or changes in relationships. As women we are brilliant at becoming who we need to be to manage situations. We are shapeshifter and can go from nursing a baby, to CEO within the same hour. The women I work with have lost a sense of self, they’ve disconnected from their internal compass.

Do you ever wonder why you have anxiety, nervous tension, mood fluctuations, an inability to concentrate, or a lack of motivation? There are reasons for symptoms such as these, some of which may be environmental, including past trauma or adverse childhood experiences, some biological or hereditary and some related to current stressors. But it is important to have an understanding of these factors, as this type of knowledge is power. In my practice, I offer supportive, compassionate counseling that encourages insight and understanding on the part of my clients, but is also solution-focused with feedback and guidance where needed.

Caring, compassionate counseling to help clients move forward through challenges and make positive life changes. I work with individuals and couples to address relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and new pathways for personal growth. While working with individuals, clients set the goals that they wish to address. My role is to listen, encourage, and guide clients in a process of self-discovery and self-mastery. Sometimes clients are trying to heal from past trauma and move forward. Sessions offer support for healing and learning new healthy ways to live.

We all get "stuck" sometimes ~ whether through an unexpected event, an expectation that wasn't met, or the inability to move forward in life. It could affect one aspect of your life, or many, and manifest as procrastination, overwhelm, the inability to make a decision, moodiness, etc. However it shows up, it's costly in time, energy, and relationships.

These are challenging, even scary, times for many. People can feel at a loss about how and where to find support. Many people experience an increase in anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms due to personal and global challenges. If you are struggling, please know there are resources that can help even if you are not able to go out into your community or to a therapist's office. I am offering phone and video chat sessions via Zoom. A recent episode on NPR.org titled, "How to Get Therapy When You Can't Leave the House" might be of interest and helpful.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I treat people with a broad spectrum of issues, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relational problems, trauma and PTSD, grieving and loss, and eating disorders. I believe that people who are in emotional pain have made choices and decisions based on what they believed to be the best options available to them at the time. My collaboration with patients focuses on discovering and creating greater and more adaptive options than they previously thought possible.

I want to know what brings a smile to your face as you realize that your life is waiting to be lived. Smiles might seem a remote option at this time, or even completely forgotten. You might be in pain and you hope for change. You might even think that there is something wrong with you. There is a part in you which knows the task at hand and exactly why it is here. It knows how to be alive and how to share that being with others. I am curious about that part. I work with adults, individuals and couples.

Most of my clients come to me because they feel “stuck” in their lives. They may feel stuck in unfulfilling patterns, a trauma cycle, a sense of purposelessness, grief, depression or anxiety. They may be caught in an oppressive societal perspective of what it means to be “healthy.” In most cases, these symptoms are not enemies, but indicators that something new – a new perspective, a new story – is attempting to emerge, like a sapling pushing its way from beneath the ground.
