Are you looking for a different way to respond to situations in your life? Although we know that "HOW" we respond is critical...we often feel we have little control over our response. We can lose sight of our better judgment, our strengths, and miss opportunities to either make the situation better or our response better. In our efforts to get rid of our problems or shoo them away, they are on our minds even more...making us feel overwhelmed and helpless. Considering or imagining other ways, of responding or looking at situations, is a matter of training the mind.

Couples: Are you feeling lonely even though you are in a committed relationship? Are you having the same arguments with your partner and cannot come to a resolution? Individuals: Does the person you aspire to be look different than how you feel now? Are you struggling with negativity and want to be kinder to yourself? I am passionate and committed to treating individuals and couples who are looking to make impactful changes in their lives and relationships. I specialize in treating adults and adolescents with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, communication issues, grief and loss, and stage of life transitions.

Struggling with the challenges of changes from perimenopause/menopause both physically and emotionally? Did you put a “pause” on you to focus on everyone else? If you find yourself at a point of transition as you shift from the “them” time to deciding to step into the “me” time then I can help. I believe we have the power to take control, but that we often give up the power and don’t clearly see options in front of us. I have made it my mission in life to help women see their options and to create plans and take steps towards a healthier more fulfilling life.

I work with children and adults who face emotional and behavioral challenges that impact the quality of their daily lives. anxiety, depression, low self esteem, anger, difficulties with relationships, learning disabilities, and bereavement, are some examples of such life stressors that can be helped.
