Personal Statement

Are you hurting? Emotional or mental pain can show up so many ways: stress, sadness, fear, anger, dishonesty, isolation, apathy, perfectionism, overindulgence …. Often, you know you’re hurting, you may think you know why, and you might even see the damaging patterns happening in your life – but you just can’t seem to change them. I help people understand themselves. Through therapy, I can help you see your patterns, realize the causes, recognize the triggers, and reroute your life along a much healthier, happier road.

When you understand your emotions, your reactions, and even your patterns, you will make better choices. Better choices mean a happier lifestyle. I work especially well with mood disorders, anxiety and helping people sort out their issues with their family of origin.

My approach is gentle, interactive and practical. I’m naturally curious, so I ask a lot of questions. I’m also keenly perceptive, so I offer lots of real-life ideas for you to try. My office is a welcoming, safe haven where you can always speak freely and never be judged.

My clients are mostly tweens, teens, young adults, families with children six years old and older, and women in transition. I also have special expertise in mood disorders and childhood trauma, abuse and neglect. Everyone needs a little help sometimes.
