Have you lost the confidence you once had? Do you feel stuck in a rut and unsure about what to do next? Many people navigating life transitions or personal crises feel lost or alone along the way. We make mistakes, get caught in unhealthy relationships, and stray from who we want to be. We doubt ourselves and fall into negative patterns. We become anxious, depressed, or feel stuck. Now is your time to rebuild your sense of safety, security, and purpose and to get your life back on the path you choose. Everyone deserves someone in their corner cheering them on and nudging them forward when needed.

If someone asks you how you think you’re doing in your life, what would you say? We may see signs that our life has gotten off course. Sometimes, others share their concerns for us, but we believe we can manage it ourselves. I meet each client where they are on their journey. Some have endured a difficult past or ongoing stress. Others have been through a traumatic event such as an accident, or the loss of a loved one through death or a break-up. Often, we don't recognize the impact of emotional toll, disguised as anxiety or other symptoms. My work helps you to connect the dots, providing support as you (re)build your best life.

I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental environment in which you will be able to share your concerns. Primarily I provide problem-oriented, solution-focused treatment dealing with an individual's thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and life issues. I focus less on the past and more on the present using cognitive-behavioral techniques (CBT) designed for symptom relief and changes of unhealthy patterns. I will help you identify goals, cope with feelings and symptoms, and change behavior patterns that have resulted in your internal emotional distress and external stressors.

I have worked for over fifteen years with young people, families, couples and individuals, helping them to sort out and make sense of the many stressors of the world today. I help clients understand the impact of past history, identify strengths and resources, internal and external, and consider how clients, their families, and/or their community support systems can offer help and hope when working together. I have extensive experience working with many issues, including behavioral issues, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, blended family/adoption issues, women's issues, life transitions, infidelity, and juvenile sexual reactivity.

So often in life we may find we are overwhelmed by the challenges of everyday stress, and that we need help coping with feelings of anxiety or sadness. As a counselor, I work with clients to build trust and rapport in a safe space. Setting meaningful goals for change, that encourage and foster personal growth and fulfillment will allow you to feel empowered and more in control, while taking steps toward getting your life back where you want it to be.
