I'm who you want to see when you're tired of feeling anxious or depressed. Are you tired of dealing with childhood trauma? Does your relationship feel like work instead of play? I know finding a therapist is HARD - let alone trying to find one when you're not feeling your best. You're not alone. I get what it's like to feel alone and even stuck. I don’t want you to feel like that anymore. It's time to let go of the anxiety, sadness, frustration, loneliness, and shame. NONE of this is your fault. Life is hard. That’s why I’m here to help. Let's figure it out!

Grief comes in many different forms. Maybe it is in death or due to the void of something we once cherished. With over 10 years of experience as a licensed social worker and being certified as a grief counselor, grief is my area of passion. I have experience working with mothers who are postpartum and are struggling to balance parenthood with life's other demands. I additionally hold a bachelor's degree in gerontology and have worked with clients amongst all ages. Grief is different for each person. Although we can not bring back what was lost ... we can learn how to honor the memories and heal.

The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same things over and over again while expecting a different outcome, and sadly, many people who have good intentions and are working hard to address their life challenges are stuck in the same destructive thoughts and behaviors. We often feel overwhelmed by what life throws at us, such as parenting stress, relationship or family conflicts, grief, job related issues or trauma, and get stuck in negative responses. Together we can find a plan and path that promotes growth, changing thoughts and behaviors and allowing for positive outcomes.

Anxiety, depression, hurt from relationships, and current stressors can make day-to-day life feel like quicksand. You're unable to move forward to the life and freedom you want no matter how hard you try. You may feel confused and overwhelmed, not knowing what will help or where to start. Or maybe you have some ideas of what needs to change, but can't understand why you can't make it happen. Sometimes all we need are the right tools and someone who listens with caring and empathy to help us really move forward in a lasting way.

Living to your fullest potential will take courage, but it can be fun. If you work better with your hands or want to get back into your body and on your feet, take some time to focus on and leave behind negative thoughts. You will find this is a safe place to use as a springboard for setting a more positive tone in your life. You may even connect with others who are lifetime learners. Flourishing doesn't happen alone. It doesn't take a hammer to bloom.

It can be exquisitely painful to parent when the hurts from your own childhood still feel so large. Bad things happened to you growing up, and that's not your fault. I know you're doing your best, and you want to do better for your own kids. You are the bravest human to want to do better for your kids. It IS possible to heal from these wounds... It's just really hard to do by yourself! But you deserve to be the parent you want to be. Both for yourself and for your kids.

The focus of my work is helping individuals who are struggling with sexual addiction and the negative impacts it can have on a person's relationships, overall emotional well being, health, family, career and other aspects of life. Struggles with sexuality can involve a great deal of pain, guilt and shame. If this is your experience, finding a professional who can provide a safe and non-judgemental space is crucial. In addition, I work with individuals who experience difficulties creating and maintaining intimate connections in relationships.
