Sometimes life can get complicated.We can get overwhelmed by people, work, and life events, and it seems this bombardment of people, places and things, never lets up. We do our best to manage it all, but in the end we are still emotionally distressed, and sometimes severely.The old ways of coping with it all no longer work. It's time to STOP FOCUSING ON THE PROBLEM AND START FOCUSING ON THE CHANGE. It's time to take your life back and be in control of your well-being. TIME TO BEGIN CRAFTING AND ACTUALIZING LIFE'S MEANING (C.A.L.M. THERAPY)

With specialized training in the areas of trauma, anxiety disorders, and family systems I actively address the underlying issues and focus on developing awareness to enhance increased skill and confidence. Combining Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my approach, I focus on challenging negative thought patterns while assisting clients as they increase mindful awareness and acceptance. My approach is collaborative with the intention of illuminating my client's internal resources while uncovering the fear and anxiety that keeps them from living life with meaning.

My general frame work is that you cannot separate the body from the mind nor can you separate a person from their life time of experiences, therefore working with all of these systems is a highly effective way to improve happiness, decrease anxiety and stress, and increase coping skills to manage life with more ease and improved relationships. Now offering emergency Intensive Couples Counseling! I work well with individuals and couples who are seeking to learn more holistic ways to address their emotional and relational challenges whether they be family of origin issues, trauma, chronic illness, anxiety, or depression.

Hi! As a parent, it can be heartbreaking seeing your child live through these difficult times or any other traumatic event and no longer seem like the person you once knew. They shut down or get angry without reason. They have difficulties sleeping or seem anxious. Especially during the COVID pandemic, they may be spending all day in their room. Even though you try your best to figure out what's going on and support your child, nothing seems to help. As a result, you and your child might feel lost and alone. Therapy can teach new skills to help your family through this difficult time and become even more resilient.

The world may feel chaotic, but it doesn’t have to be! To those around you, you have a successful & fulfilling life. You are happy, friendly, & reliable. You appear to have things under control. But on the inside, you don't feel good enough. In fact, you don’t even recognize yourself anymore. It is exhausting to give so much to everyone else & still feel like you are struggling to take care of yourself. Your relationships, both romantic & platonic, are suffering. Some days feel easier to tackle than others, yet you feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, & want so badly to feel the way you once felt. It's time to reframe your perspective.

Congratulations on taking this major step towards seeking a higher quality of life, whether for yourself or a loved one! While many people can identify the source(s) of their concerns, others feel a vague, lingering discontent but have difficulty finding the words to describe what they are seeking. Your concerns require a unique, targeted approach to building goals. Areas of focus might be intentional life reconstruction, blended and bi/multi-cultural families, our LGBTQ communities, helping resolve stress related to grief/loss/trauma, multi-generational ripple effects of mental illness and trauma, and concerns specific to aging.
