My ideal clients are those who are dealing with a wide range of challenges, primarily focused on anxiety, depression, family issues, and adjustment difficulties. They may feel overwhelmed by the weight of their emotions and struggling to navigate through their lives. However; they possess a remarkable openness to change and a genuine willingness to accept help, recognizing that they cannot overcome these obstacles alone. They need a safe space where they can express themselves freely, without fear of judgment or rejection

A question I regularly get is, "What is Therapy?" "What does it do?" If you ask 100 therapists, you may get as many different answers. My take on therapy is that it is a space where you can lay out your problems and difficulties in a way that they begin to feel more manageable, then develop insights and new perspectives on how to address these problems. Essentially, it provides a new way to look at your challenges and the knowledge and insight to overcome them.

From a very young age, I discovered the benefits of mindfulness based meditation practices. These practices have helped me overcome anxiety, depression, abuse, paralysis and recovery. After graduating college, I discovered the wonderful world of social work. This path helped fuel my passion for helping others recover from their challenges. I discovered that there was not a one size fits all when working with my clients. With over 25 years of intentional learning about the mind, body and spirit connections, I am able to help clients tap into their own natural healing with greater ease and discover inner peace and self love.

You feel like your anxiety is getting the best of you and feel like you no longer have control over your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. You are noticing that even when you try to take a break and focus on yourself, that your breath catches in your chest and then you feel it…the anxiety. You have a difficult time sleeping at night because you worry about the course of events that took place that day and the laundry list of things you have to do tomorrow. Worries such as: “Did I make a mistake at work?” “What did that person think of me?” “Am I being a good Partner/Parent/Friend” swirl like a tornado in your mind.

We often feel the need to alter how we present in the world to make others more comfortable but when we find ways to show up more authentically ourselves and communicate with those around us we often find much more joy. I enjoy helping people figure out who they are and how they want to show up in the world. Whether you are interested in changing your relationships or planning for the future it can be helpful to explore what is truly you. When working with individuals with autism and their families I enjoy exploring how to communicate our experiences to others and gaining a deeper understanding for those around us.

However, sometimes trauma, stress, and other issues may get in the way of coping with life's demands. As challenges arise, so does the need for support. As a therapist, I am deeply committed to empowering individuals to strengthen their connections with themselves and others.
