I support adult couples of all varieties. Most of the couples I see have busy lives. They are smart and capable. They can usually figure things out themselves, but feel stuck about how to improve their relationship which doesn't feel good. Clients who have the greatest success in working with me have these things in common: 1. Courage to believe things can be better. 2. Readiness to embrace change. 3. Willingness to acknowledge their own part in the dynamics, and to learn new ways of being in relationship.

Are you an adult woman questioning Autism or ADHD? Do you feel different than everyone else, like you're not "normal?" Do feel socially awkward and experience sensory concerns?

Attending a neurodivergence assessment can bring you the validation and peace of mind that you are looking for.

Many people ask me, "Why would I want to feel my feelings?” Whether you are constantly staring at a screen, filling every space on your calendar to avoid being alone with your thoughts, putting on a new mask for every person you encounter, or using alcohol as "social lubricant" to quiet the noise, many of us have mastered the art of avoidance. Some of us neatly tuck our feelings away, trading our emotions for a nicely organized life with lots of explanations and justifications, while others stuff the jumbled up mess under the bed.

Counseling is a journey of change and self-discovery and it is not always easy to take that first step. There are not issues that are “too small” or “unimportant.” They are worth addressing because they are affecting your life. We will work together as a team to find the best solutions for your situation. I believe in beginning with the strengths you already have and building on those. We will develop coping mechanisms and strategies to help you through what is bringing you to counseling. The journey toward living the life you want begins with you taking the first step.

I am an anxiety and trauma specialist and I want to help you feel more confident in your life. Often life experiences have a way of impacting how we navigate our life. This might look like using a lot of energy or effort to avoid something bad happening or avoiding things altogether. We can be consumed with worry that leaves us feeling stuck, helpless, and unsure how to feel better. You may feel alone, but it doesn’t mean you need to move though it alone.

Do you sense that you are "just getting by" in life? Do you feel weighed down by a sadness, restricted by anxieties, or just a sense of detachment and numbness? Are you concerned about a relationship or lack thereof? Or perhaps there are old, unattended wounds still hurting from long-ago. Eastern philosophies remind us that suffering is universal, but not necessary, and that it emerges from a disconnection from our essential nature. Therapy with me uses mindfulness practices and trauma-informed therapy (EMDR) to reconnect with that nature and inquire into the barriers that resist such connection to ourselves and others.
