Counseling for adults and adolescents

---

Would you like support sorting out mixed feelings about a relationship or decision?​ 

Do you tend to become overwhelmed by or critical of your emotions?

Do you feel held back by remnants of painful past events?

"We're every age we ever were," said writer Anne Lamott.  Past experiences can linger, needing attention in order to shed the suffering and gather the wisdom.

Whether you are a young adult trying to make sense of the responsibilities, joys, and challenges of life on your own; a more established adult wondering how to reconnect with your dreams and grieve losses; a busy parent who has lost track of yourself in the midst of it all, or someone dealing with the upheaval of divorce, as your psychotherapist, I can help you find your way to your fullest, most vibrant life. 

Inner Relationship Focusing and Expressive Arts Therapy can further support your self-exploration, if you are interested.

Navigating peer and family relationships, handling the pressures of school work and extracurricular activities, and charting a course into the future can create anxiety, overwhelming emotions, and self-doubt. 

I support teens in developing a healthy sense of self and positive ways of coping with difficult emotions.  I enjoy helping young people build their confidence so they can develop their unique gifts.  

Counseling for teens addresses the big questions: Who am I and who do I want to be?  We can tackle these sometimes exciting, sometimes confusing topics together. I provide a safe, supportive, confidential place to sort things out.

If you are open to trying Expressive Arts Therapy or Inner Relationship Focusing, these approaches can further support your self-exploration.
