Let's be honest- we all struggle. Sharing openly and honestly about our struggles is powerful. Life's difficulties take many forms but often our tendency is to go it alone, to hide it, to wait for it to go away. Counseling is seizing an opportunity to move towards greater fulfillment, whether that is for an important relationship, helping your child/family, resolving problems from the past that replay themselves in your today or coping with difficult life circumstances and illnesses. Counseling is a worthwhile investment in a valuable you; life is too short to do otherwise.

We live in a fast-paced world with lots of distractions, temptations, and negativity. It can be hard to reach out for help when these issues begin to overwhelm your life. Many of my clients come to me because they are stressed out (anxiety from work, school, family) and need a new perspective. My main priority is to help my clients sort through these everyday challenges and help implement positive change. Whether you are having challenges within your relationships, grieving the loss of a loved one, or dealing with any sort of stress or anxiety, allow me to help walk you through this journey.

I believe a fine tuned awareness of oneself and a well regulated body are essential to overall well-being. I support you in understanding your problems in new ways and clarifying novel, practical options you can take to increase satisfaction and reduce distress. I work to assist you in clarifying your personal needs, mapping repetitive patterns and noticing what interferes with feeling fulfilled or settled. Action toward change is complicated and usually feels risky. I am here to help you understand yourself better and work through patterns that keep you stuck. Usually these patterns feel “second nature” and difficult to change.
