Sometimes taking care of ourselves is the hardest thing because our lives don't have therapy built in our day. We become masters at believing we are dealing with our struggles, depression, anxiety, yet we never seem to get to a point where we are actually making a change. We see what we are doing isn't working yet we continue to do the same. I work with adults facing a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, mania, adjustment related issues, relationship issues, divorce and grief/loss. I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals find healthy solutions.

I believe counseling is helpful for anyone experiencing a bump in the road, or feeling stuck and in need of a guide along the path. In the counseling process, we both bring our expertise to help you get to where you want to be: You bring your expertise about yourself -- your strengths, and the ways you typically act. I bring my expertise in healing, growth, change and human development.

You or your loved one may be dealing with overwhelming stress, previous traumatic experiences, loss, or everyday life events, but what matters most is you are looking for ways to navigate these challenges. There are ways to use your strengths to move towards a meaningful life in line with your goals and aspirations. Together we will work to reach a greater understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Personal growth is unique, but we will aim to get you where you want to be, while encouraging development in areas aligned with your values.

I am passionate about working with individuals experiencing women's issues, substance abuse/misuse, anxiety, depression, self-discovery, and complex family issues.
