Whether you are experiencing chronic pain or dealing with grief or anticipatory grief, I am here to offer support.
Life’s journey presents a variety of challenges, especially as we transition through its many stages. By the time we reach mid-life, we may find ourselves in the "sandwich generation," caring for both children and aging parents. Perhaps you’re further along in your journey, providing care for a spouse or loved one living with chronic illness or dementia. Or, you may be facing your own health struggles, managing chronic pain, chronic illness, or navigating the natural changes of perimenopause or menopause. You may have reached retirement and are asking, "Who am I now?"

Others, may involve both situational stress, divorce, grief, trauma and abuse, Mood Disorders, and chronic mental health issues.
People are unique, and I help them make changes by entering into a relationship that honors who they are. This relationship fosters a safe place to heal old wounds, explore the vast realm of possibility, and reach a more peaceful state of mind, body, and spirit. To enhance our work together, I am experienced in many ways to communicate and integrate information. This may include traditional talk therapy, EMDR, play and art therapy techniques, and EMDR as a tool to enhance insight into oneself and a person's role in relationships and their environment.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples struggling with infertility, marital issues, anxiety, depression, grief/ loss, trauma and life transitions.
Seeking help with life challenges can be intimidating. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel comfortable to explore their struggles, reach their goals and find hope that leads to healing. Over the years in a variety of social service roles assisting children and families, I have learned that it is essential to find the right person with whom you can build an authentic connection and from whom you can receive support. I believe we can find that connection together.
