If asked what brought me into this crazy field, two answers surface. First, I was exposed as a child to my father's special ed students, so-called problem kids. Then, I soon found myself one of those people! Adolescence brought anger, rejection, depression and anxiety. These experiences, along with getting three degrees in psychology, have helped me develop a compassion and passion for helping those struggling with life's issues. Although I never push faith,becoming a Christian has helped as well. After 25 years working with couples, mood, anxiety and personality problems, I am still liking my job!

Anxiety and depression can feel debilitating. It can affect our relationships and can have a whole effect on who we are as a person. I believe that trauma can be the sole source of many of the symptoms that we experience and may be the underlying factor that needs to be addressed to alleviate many of these. Fortunately, we can work through our trauma and symptoms to live a healthy and connected life.

Have you ever felt like the odd one out in a world that seems to march to a different beat? Perhaps you've been told you're a bit eccentric, a whirlwind of creativity and wit, yet at times, you've felt like a bull in a china shop, navigating life's delicate moments with a touch of unpredictability. Maybe whispers of ADHD or ADD have reached your ears, but the labels don't quite align with your unique journey through adulthood.

I have engaged with various individuals from different backgrounds and presented needs, but predominantly assist adults, couples, and families in developing healthier relationships with themselves and others. I aim to help you grow in how you relate to yourself and others, your identity as a person, your ability to stay in a balanced view of reality and become even more of an adult pursuing your unique passions in the world.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. You may have plans to get through the clutter in your bedroom, but then you realize the dishes need to be done so you can access the sink. Perhaps you know you have the intelligence and skills to get through college, but the simple act of starting an assignment is so overwhelming that the pressure itself makes it feel impossible to begin. Or you have a deep desire to form relationships, but you don’t know where to start and always end up feeling like you’ve failed when you try. Maybe you have a job that doesn't suit you, or are unemployed and can’t seem to get past the interview process.

Quiet desperation. Turmoil that others can't see. Shame that shackles. Anxiety that chokes. Depression that numbs. Relationships that tip us over the edge. Life is hard.
