Dr. Pauline Boss notes that, "Resilience is based on being able to accept ambiguity and find hope amid uncertain conditions, " this notion is one that is central to my clinical practice. We all have points in our lives when stress, change, or loss may leave us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of what lies ahead. The opportunity to warmly welcome clients into my office to re-gain their center, tap into internal resources, and nurture the development of new strategies is one I welcome each time I meet someone new.

Events in life, whether it is experiencing mental health challenges, relationship complexities or a life transition rarely occur without stress. Adjusting to change takes time and patience and while this can be painful, change can influence personal growth and can leave one stronger, more confident and better prepared for what comes next in life. Sometimes it takes a neutral and objective person to facilitate and guide one through challenging seasons of life.

Healthy relationships begin with you. When you have a full plate you may feel irritable and exhausted and that you and your relationships need some TLC. You may feel resentful and/or angry and you may not know why or you may be unclear about what to do about it. You may be listening and living your life according to your inner critic, which can lead to low self-esteem, loneliness, and never feeling good enough instead of loving yourself and having the freedom to be who you are truly meant to be. Your ways of coping may be keeping you hanging on by a thread, but they also may be causing you pain and not addressing underlying forces.

When difficulties arise in life, it can be hard to navigate without support. Whether you are dealing with stress, life transitions, past trauma, or improving your mental health, choosing to start therapy can be a great step towards finding your way.

My passion is working with clients in transition and I specialize in counseling women 40s and older who are facing situations of peri-menopause/post-menopause, aging parents, adult sibling relationships, emancipating children and career transitions.
