Feel like you're supposed to have life figured out? Feeling lonely, overwhelmed, stressed, stuck, anxious? Out of ideas on how to change it? It's not easy to feel these things and you're not alone. Being human can be difficult & messy & our environments and minds have many natural tendencies that can unintentionally contribute to our suffering. Yet they also have the potential to change & help us move towards the lives we most want to live. Together we can learn how to connect to that power & work WITH the complex aspects of our humanity to create more space for enjoyment & meaning, fun & ease - for ourselves and for our world.

People pleasing and perfectionist tendencies leaves us drained, resentful, and disconnected from who we are at the core. You may be fed up with the pressures and expectations of doing “all of the things”, feeling stretched too thin or wish you had the inner strength to make yourself a priority. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to commit to the change. You’re ready to kick self doubt to the curb. Most of all, you’re ready to embark on a journey towards peace and purpose.

Update 10/24/23: I currently have openings for new clients. Your partner complains that you are too disorganized and scattered. In fact, they complain they have to be your private secretary. It’s impossible to find anything. You missed another dentist appointment and now they won’t even let you make another. Your boss yelled at you for being late again. Or if you are a student, you forgot to turn in the homework assignment. Nobody seems to have much sympathy and now people seem annoyed at you. You don't know how much longer you can keep your life moving forward and negative thoughts toward yourself keep growing.

The path narrows as the sunlight disappears. A foot stumbles and balance is lost. In seconds, you are back up. The climb is exhilarating at times; at other times, it's uncertain where to turn next. Hello, I'm Francie. It's my honor to provide a safe place to sit with you while you share your struggles and work through life's different paths one step at a time. Life is like ascending a mountain. Our destination depends on what mountain we're climbing. What mountain are you climbing? What challenges are you facing today? My goal as a therapist is to support individuals on their journey.

For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to work with teenagers. Since obtaining my Masters of Social Work at the University of California, Berkeley in 1987, I have worked with teens in multiple settings. I have discovered that counseling can help teenagers with the most important tasks of adolescence. I work collaboratively with parents towards the primary goal of seeing their teenager launch successfully into adulthood. I am direct and honest and emphasize accountability and personal responsibility. I have found that teenagers appreciate that approach.
