Throughout life we have various events that impact our emotions. At times things may trigger our anxiety or depression, withdrawing from things we once loved, or highlight your concerns about how you are coping with stress. Together we can work to develop a plan to manage our emotions while also moving forward.

I help clients to reduce anxiety and depression and other mental health symptoms, and to recognize their responsibility and creative power in the systems/groups they participate in: family of origin, friend group, couple, chosen family, work, religious, and societal. Counseling sessions are a journey into the present moment, with time and opportunity to sense, feel, notice thoughts, and recognize patterns. Clients and couples make confident and clear-minded choices going forward, respecting both pain/isolation and potential. The outcome is purposeful, ethical living, and the realization of their wise and compassionate nature.
