Do you want to feel confident, but struggle to trust yourself? Do the “little” things feel overwhelming? Throw in a trauma, unexpected loss, or that shitty thing you thought you moved on from, and you’re really feeling out of control. Yeah, you’re holding it all together, but you're questioning your intuition, feeling irritable and discouraged. You haven't been able to make a change that sticks. Now, you’re ready to try something different. You’re ready to lose the self-doubt and irritability. Most of all, you’re ready to live with confidence, calmness, and courage. I can help you get there.

NOTE:. As of Jan. 1, 2022, my practice is closed to new clients. Past clients should feel free to contact me to see if I have availability to see them but should be aware that I currently do only televideo sessions. Making the decision to seek therapy is an important one, and it generally stirs up a mixture of feelings, including both excitement and anxiety. I focus on helping my clients feel safe in sharing their difficulties and goals and in assessing their needs. I work to help clients to find meaning and strategies to move past old patterns to live well in the present.

Clients can experience a life situation or a series of life situations that cause some level of unwanted emotional arousal (sadness, hurt, pain, fear, anxiety) and as a result of the intensity, increases an urge to do a behavior they consider ineffective (self harm, suicidal behavior, isolate, withdrawal, shutdown, verbally/physically aggressive, tantrums, obsessions, compulsions, avoidance, school refusal). They are in need of skills to help them cope with their emotions and problem solve their life situations. Despite the discomfort, they want to be effective, maintain relationships and feel better.
