Being disconnected from yourself or stuck in a joyless existence is not something you must simply endure. The lingering effects of trauma caused by overwhelming events can prevent you from experiencing the present fully or anticipating the future with hope. Imagine living life without the frenzy of distraction, the seduction of escape or the public relations campaign of always being “fine”. How would it feel to no longer be controlled by another person or event? What would it be like to be in relationships without anxiety, fear or intimidation? What if you laughed more, worried less, and interacted with yourself compassionately?

i Have Immediate Daytime Availability! I see you. It takes courage, commitment and love to start counseling - all of which may seem in short supply some days. I'm passionate about healing and attunement. My clients are primarily individuals who have a history of trauma and couples that have trouble understanding and connecting, but I also work with parents and their children to reset. My clients regain confidence in their relationships, parenting, and ability to flourish.

Seeking treatment is a sign of strength. When clients contact me they are looking to get a handle on areas of their life that may be feeling overwhelming. It is not uncommon for those entering therapy to report feelings of anxiety, depression, loss, anger, sadness, fear and disappointment. During times of stress people report experiencing increased fighting with or avoidance of the important people in their lives. Relationships that may be complicated at this time include family, peer, employer, school and significant others. Managing to hold it all together, plan for the future and maintain stability can feel overwhelming.

My clients tend to be ambitious women, in graduate programs and beyond, who are: seeking clarity; navigating stress and change; or wanting more connection, balance and joy in their lives.
Do you ever feel like you're wearing a mask to cover up how you really feel? One of the challenges of personal problems is the pressure to seem like everything's fine. Many of us stifle important parts of ourselves with romantic partners, friends, family and colleagues, fearing that doing otherwise will come at a cost. But masking our feelings often shows up as anxiety, depression, lack of self-care, or dissatisfaction with our relationships.
