I value supporting adolescents and adults struggling with life's challenges: depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and much more. We tend to isolate in these difficult moments believing we are alone in our struggles. My goal is to provide a comforting and safe environment to make changes to achieve your goals and create more positive interactions.

When faced with complications or must deal with grief and loss, having someone to talk to one on one or perhaps joining a group session is helpful. Anyone who suffers a loss needs to know you are not alone. The reactions to grief are felt in different ways and no two people are alike.

It can be so difficult to enjoy a “normal” life when your mind is preoccupied with diet, weight, or the size and shape of your body. It’s hard to concentrate at work or school when you can’t stop fixating on your muffin top, and how many calories or “points” you have left for the day. You feel anxious when it comes to being around other people because you fear they’re judging you. You have no idea how you got into this vicious cycle, or how to get out. If this sounds like you, I can help you find your way to making peace with food and your body!

At times we have lived a certain way, thinking certain thoughts for so long that we stop hoping or believing that we could ever feel or be any other way. Through counseling, we begin to discover that certain things we have believed and ways that we have been thinking are causing undue suffering. Having discovered this, we can then make new decisions and choices resulting in a better life that we enjoy living.
