You may be feeling stuck, discouraged, angry or depressed about your life or relationships. Maybe there's a medical condition with emotional effects on you or others. Your family life or parenting situation may be difficult. Maybe you're having trouble with co-workers or siblings. Or you may have just lost your way and don't know where you are going or how to get there ... wherever "there" might be. Whether you believe we choose our own circumstances, that there is a "master plan," or that sometimes SHTUFF happens, you still have reactions, feelings, and decisions to make about "what next?" I can help.

Grieving the loss of a loved one can feel lonely, isolating, catastrophic and disorienting. You may feel as if no one truly understands what it is like to grieve someone you loved so much. Grief can feel even more overwhelming when it is accompanied by trauma. You deserve to feel understood, supported and cared for while you grieve.

A person coming to me may be feeling despondent, depressed, over-anxious & needs a most personal kind of support. He/she may struggle with a life-circumstance change, loneliness, un-remitting sorrow or grief, or confusions of how to manage a change in life-circumstance. People seek me out for help with long-standing emotional problems that have in some way spoiled relationships, or progress in their careers. He/she needs experienced help in learning how to be a more confident and resourceful parent or partner in a relationship or marriage.

We all experience different situations in life where we could benefit from a little bit of support and guidance. I chose to become a mental health professional because I saw the need for people to have someone to talk to. I work with families and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, trauma, school difficulties, foster care issues, grief, parenting, self-esteem, and other issues. My goal is to help clients feel prepared to take the next step, whether that’s nurturing small progress or planting seeds for future growth.

Relationships are one of the most impactful areas of our lives. If you are experiencing a lot of stress in your relationships, I can imagine the toll it is taking on your overall wellbeing. The quality of our childhood bonds can determine the patterns of our relationships in adulthood. Human connections can improve. With the help of a judgment-free professional and implementation of new skills, relationships can become healing and transformative. I believe that growth is achieved by the pairing of insight and the implementation of tools and techniques that will be learned in psychotherapy.
