For all people who set out to begin therapy, it can be difficult to know what to expect. This may be especially true if you are seeking support for your child or teen. I approach therapy with a unique focus on empowerment, knowledge, and engagement. My sessions create a dynamic space for clients to not only address their challenges but also to have fun, resolve roadblocks, discover, and continuously contribute to their unique toolbox of coping skills.

Along the journey through life challenges are inevitable and there aren't always easy or clear answers about why things happen and what to do about them. We want our lives and life itself to have value, meaning and purpose; and finding or creating these things for ourselves can be confusing, frustrating and even scary. However, finding our deeper reason(s) in life can also be rewarding, exciting and empowering experience that provides the hope, courage, strength and tenacity needed to face life's challenges. Having the courage to begin this process and asking for support along the way doesn't mean you're weak, it makes you strong!

Our unhappiness is often due to repeating patterns, the "whys" of which can be puzzling to ourselves and others. These patterns prevent us from experiencing joy and contentment, enjoying healthy intimacy with others and living a meaningful life. I am committed to offering therapy that allows you the space in which we can look with honesty and self-compassion at your unique history, patterns and circumstances with curiosity and openness. I see my role as facilitating and accompanying you on a journey of self-discovery. My goal for you is to "be who (you) are and be that well."

Because we cannot clearly see our mental health it is easy to overlook. Coming to the conclusion to seek counseling can be scary, but it is also a very important decision. The only person who can make meaningful long-lasting changes in your life is you and seeking guidance to make those changes is a big first step. Some changes happen quickly while others may take a while, but with all change it can be beneficial to have someone on the outside for support. Mental health looks different for everyone and therefore should be treated uniquely for each individual.

Are you an anxious woman who hides her insecurities pretty well most of the time? You can be highly successful and productive on the outside but weighed down by old wounds from toxic relationships or childhood trauma. A lot of women I work with deal with the weight of emotional baggage and stressors from the very real demands of their current lives. Therapy can help immensely with these things. By the time people seek therapy there may be some unhealthy coping that needs to be addressed as well. Addictions and addictive behaviors will complicate life on top of everything else. Seeking help is the best thing you can do for yourself.

I work with people who are experiencing anxiety and distress. Many feel stuck in unsatisfying experiences. We can gently explore these experiences in ways that can loosen their "grip", and bring innate healing resources into play, cultivating a deeper sense of ease and opportunity in everyday experience. The dissolving of these unsatisfying patterns, and the appearance and growth of more satisfying ones, happens in both individual and relationship therapy.

Are you struggling to live the life you’ve envisioned—one of personal fulfillment, financial stability, healthy relationships, and self-worth? You’re not alone. Many individuals and couples alike face challenges related to finances, relationship dynamics, and emotional well-being. For more than two-thirds of Americans, money is the biggest source of stress, leading to feelings of anxiety, shame, or hopelessness. These pressures often spill over into relationships, creating communication roadblocks, professional stagnation, or difficulties managing budgets and debt.

Hi, Me Jane. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience. It is difficult to seek help. I recognize the strength and courage it takes to reach out. You can feel safe, accepted, and listened to in our sessions. This is your time to be you and say what you need to unburden yourself. Sometimes we need guidance while at other times we need someone to listen and hold space for us. It is possible that you are looking for a fresh take on your circumstances or have tried "everything" out there and are ready to give up. You may feel discouraged but together we can work on what is important to you.

Everyone hits highs and lows in their lives. We all wish to be heard, understood, and accepted, which is why I value each and every experience shared. I believe in the notion of “putting yourself in ones’ shoes” to fully accept and understand others exactly how they are and what they are experiencing. I am passionate about giving voice to those who struggle making theirs heard and encouraging them to make positive changes in their lives. Each and every individual, child and adult, has the internal power to be the person they wish to be, through understanding, acceptance, and creating their unique meaning and purpose in life.
