Has anxiety or trauma kept you from having the life you want? Do you find that you feel nervous or angry almost all the time? Perhaps these feelings show up in your interactions with other people, at work, or affect your sleep. You might even find your mind replaying the same disturbing image or sound when you close your eyes or whenever it’s quiet. Or an incident that took away your peace and confidence? Or possibly a series of repeated traumas that have made you question and doubt yourself? You know you have the potential to live a happier life, but you haven’t figured out how. You just wish you were over the past by now.

Since beginning my counseling career, I have worked chiefly with children, adolescents, teenagers, and their families, to help people become more aware of their strengths, as well as their limitations - both individually and as a unit. I teach new techniques to incorporate into one's daily life, to help manage these inevitable obstacles. Growth and healing aren't linear, though it would be nice if they were. With a teamwork approach, we can start this process! We all have strengths within us - the fact that you are viewing this page right now tells me that.

Sometimes life can be challenging and the experience we are going through seems like it may never end. Whether individual, married, divorced, or trying to co-parent, we may feel lost, stuck, or confused. Anxiety, depression, or maladaptive coping patterns emerge, only to make the situation worse. Imagine having coping skills that leave you feeling revived and produce positive outcomes, while enhancing your relationship with self and others. As a co-parent counselor I deliver an unbiased perspective to help solve disputes and find solutions based on communication and cooperation.

We all get stuck at times. Reaching out for help can be the first step towards positive change. Recognizing dissatisfaction with an aspect of your life, or that solutions you've tried are not working, creates opportunity to allow in other perspectives. Problems can feel immense, and grow in isolation; conversely, talking with a therapist can shed light, open up unseen possibilities and diminish problems. Whether you're struggling with relationship or work struggles, identity issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or other life issues, therapy can help you build more meaning, balance, and ability to handle life's challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years' experience working with adults, children and families. I have worked in many settings from behavioral health agencies, Childrens Hospitals IOP, and school settings providing both clinical and group counseling. I find that the most effective approach is one that is strengths-based with a strong emphasis on helping clients solve the problems that bring them to counseling and helping them develop powerful resiliency characteristics that allow for future problem-solving, conflict resolution, goal attainment, wellness, and life satisfaction.
