If you're feeling alone and disconnected, I'll be here to give you the support you need while also helping you build outside supports.

As a therapist, I work with children, adults, couples, and families as they navigate various life transitions. This can include reorganization within the family system, through either a new marriage, a separation or divorce, birth of a new family member, the exploration of alternative family building options, or various other life events. Our lives are constantly in flux, and we all sometimes need support to navigate these decision points and learn to better manage the anxiety they create.

An ideal client is someone who is a good fit for my services, who I enjoy working with, and who is likely to benefit from therapy. They generally share my values, beliefs, and goals and feel comfortable working with me.

Dear Seeker, As someone who realized just in time that they had to get a grip on their problems, or they would keep gripping them, I know what it’s like to finally understand what it’s like to accept full responsibility for your mistakes and your life. Problems like: The times that leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally frozen because you can’t make up your mind. When your day feels like you’re trying to crawl through mud just to make it to the end of the day. The moments that your inner critic becomes obsessed with keeping you down. Career shake-ups, that leave you flailing for a lifeline.

My ideal client would be a mom or wife, an individual who does not have any coping skills and blames themselves for things that are out of their control, such as anxiety, depression, unstable mood, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, lack of motivation, & no insight in their situation. Their needs would be support, empathy, understanding, and active listening. They have goals to work on themselves, improve communication skills, increase coping skills, and alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms. The client would want to change and work on themselves to become better and stronger individuals for themselves & their families.

For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

Feeling different? Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. But you can be different and still fit in. That's where I can help.
