Hello beautiful soul! :) Baring your soul to a total stranger can feel so strange when you don't know what to expect or how to find a good fit just based on a few paragraphs and a photo. If you're overwhelmed and tired of feeling anxious, I'd love to help you learn ways to shift your emotions and mindset while clearing a path forward that feels right for you. I promise to be warm, compassionate, accepting, nonjudgmental, and honest with you every step of the way. I would be honored to be your safe space while we navigate life's toughest challenges together. My style is very interactive and I aim to prioritize your comfort & clarity.

Imagine...feeling more connected and better able to communicate with your child. Perhaps the daily stresses have been piling up and your family needs support to re-balance. Maybe you are worried about your child and you need an experienced therapist to help problem solve. I have worked for over 20 years with children under stress due to school issues, divorce, family crisis, separation or deployment. I utilize a combination of play therapy, mindfulness and CBT to promote changes in thinking and behavior. Play therapy can especially benefit traumatized children, as it allows them to process the trauma at their own pace.

You're not broken and you don't have to suffer! There are times when life is overwhelming - you feel that your relationships, work, stress, your trauma, your moods are more in control than you are. Are you 35 or older and are suddenly experiencing severe mood changes, irritability, emotional flatness, or anxiety, that you never had before? You could be in perimenopause! It's so much more than 'just' hot flashes. Are you going through life transitions like empty-nest, divorce, or reevaluating your life? Have you spent years prioritizing the expectations of everyone else, leaving your own goals neglected and unexplored?

I have worked with those who have relationship issues, big & small including infidelity, divorce, domestic violence, codependency, & substance use.
You tell yourself "I just can't do this anymore" and somehow, you push through the pain and the hurt and you carry on, but only living as an empty shell of who you once were. If it seems like in your relationship, you never talk, and the times you do talk, turn into fights; there is hope. If you or a someone you care about struggles with the ups and downs of substances use; there is hope. If you have been given news of a terminal or life-debilitating illness that has literally taken the breath from your lungs; there is hope. I would be honored if you allowed me to help you find that hope.
