Are you struggling in your everyday life? Does parenting seem like a constant battle? Do you constantly feel like you’re drowning, failing, stressed, or worried? Whether it’s your home life or professional life, I’m here to help support and guide you through. I understand firsthand the complexities of everyday life, the stress of the work/life balance, and the struggles surrounding raising children with challenging behaviors. If you’re looking for compassion, empathy, guidance, and strategies, we’d make a good fit!

Are you experiencing challenges with life transitions or overwhelm with caring for others? Have you been finding it difficult to manage your emotions? My practice focuses on helping individuals and families gain a better understanding of their emotional responses and build the coping skills they need to manage difficult life situations.

With experience counseling in the areas of trauma, life stage transitions, and parent-child relationships, I can support you in navigating change and coping with life experiences.

Attachment issues, trauma, divorce and loss are additional areas of expertise.

Do you or a family member feel that life is so difficult and everything you try appears to be falling apart at the seam. Disappointment, hurt, grief and anger can morph into complicated unwanted behavior if left unresolved. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating and sleep disorders can arise when life circumstances are overwhelmingly stressful. Over the years the feedback that I have received from clients is: that I am warm, caring, understanding, easy to talk to; willing to help you tell your story by asking the questions that bring out your inner voice and easily reached by phone or text.
