Sometimes we need some support and assistance along the way to heal from our childhood, let go and move on from some challenges that we have faced or deal with some current difficult issues or losses. I would like to be the person who guides you through this growth process that counseling will provide. It is wonderful to have someone listen just to you and to reflect and understand how you are feeling. I will celebrate with you as you grow and meet your goals. Call today for a free phone consultation.

We all struggle to improve our lives - to change and grow in ways that make us feel more fulfilled. As a psychotherapist for over 20 years, I often see people who are stuck, in unsatisfying relationships or jobs, alcohol/drug dependence or struggling with anxiety, depression or fears that hold them back from living more fully. My background in fine arts and personal experience as a painter has made me especially attuned to issues of artists who feel blocked in their creativity. Helping people with inhibitions in expressing feelings and asserting themselves is another area of interest.

"I'm so overwhelmed." "I'm not coping well." "I am so alone." "I'm really scared." "I feel I have no control." "I'm so angry." "I'm trying really hard to stay positive, (or sober/clean), but I don't know how much longer I can". Do any of these resonate with you? If you are finding it hard to feel grounded or connected, please know you are in no way alone. If managing daily uncertainty & unknowns have affected you emotionally and physically, mind and body both need your special attention. Navigating life transitions is challenging. However, our toughest challenges present opportunities for extraordinary growth.

Hello! Are you feeling unheard, alone, or even uncertain of your next steps? I know how you feel. For a while, I felt the same. Although I did not always have access to professional support, these feelings were a big motivator in becoming a therapist after studying psychology and social work. I have had the pleasure of working with people of various walks of life: parents struggling with substance issues, young adults finding their identity, women of color experiencing racial issues, to name a few.
