I have worked with individuals, couples, and families who have struggled to overcome marital issues, family conflict, depression, anxiety, anger issues, low self-esteem, and suicidal ideation. Most teen clients have difficulty socializing and fitting in with others in school. Many adult clients have trouble connecting with their family and feel inadequate during gatherings.

It is my honor to walk with you along the way – helping you to avoid the familiar pitfalls and forging new routes while learning how to live again.

Life is a journey. Sometimes the path is clear, and at times we may encounter obstacles that can feel difficult to endure and impossible to manage. Maybe you're facing big changes in your life such as marriage, divorce or the birth of a new baby. Or maybe you're having difficulty conceiving and wondering "why is this so hard?" Perhaps you're coping with life's challenges in ways that hold you back from feeling your best. Whether you’re having difficulty adjusting to a major life transition or just simply feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. Together, we will identify the areas that are keeping you stuck so you can thrive.

Is a serious illness or disability in your life impacting you? Are you grieving the loss of a loved one? Do you feel lonely or lacking purpose?

By working with me to identify strategies to manage your feelings, you can adjust to these transitions and begin to feel better.

We all strive to live healthy and happy lives, but many variables, circumstances, or feelings can get in the way and cause a setback in one’s journey.
