Counseling

Perhaps this sounds familiar …

You’ve worked hard to create a fulfilling life, but instead, you may be feeling …

  • Stressed, overloaded, numbed out, and perpetually exhausted
  • Panicked, paralyzed, or both by worry about whether you can handle it all
  • Burdened by your past and not really “all here” in your present
  • Stuck in habits that may have crossed the line into addiction
  • Overwhelmed by societal shifts compounding your personal challenges
  • Disconnected from close, supportive relationships
  • Detached from a sense of meaning and a sense of yourself

If some or all of these describe your life, please know that life doesn’t have to stay this way. I am here to help you discover new ways forward.

My therapeutic approach takes all of your life factors into account, focuses on helping you find a balance between mindful acceptance of what is and courageous change toward what can be, and draws upon a range of wisdom traditions that can help you experience greater resiliency. 

When clients walk away from a therapy session with me, they report feeling “lighter,” “more hopeful,” and “more like myself again.”
