Adults

As adults we all have pain and struggles. Sometimes that pain or struggle becomes intense enough that it interferes with our ability to function at a level we desire. Life is complex and our history is often quite complex. Life is full of experiences that affect our relationships with ourselves, partner, family, and others.  

My passion lies in working with individuals who have hit a point in their lives where it seems that their usual coping mechanisms just aren't working anymore, responsibilities of life are feeling overwhelming, entering into a life transition that is provoking intense emotional responses that may or may not include depression and anxiety, and/or who have a history of trauma.  In my experience and as a female myself, I am aware women often present mental, emotional, and spiritual struggles in unique ways that do not always fit the "mold".  Men are often expected to experience life by a script that doesn't work for them or creates a lot of dissonance resulting in increased discomfort mentally, emotionally, and physically.  As I enter into therapeutic relationships with clients I work to remain open to all of the variables that may be affecting your ability to live your life as an active participant and achieve the state of being you desire.  I believe that regulated and self aware individuals are vital for well balanced relationships and families. This is an important factor that is often overlooked in our society. I focus on ways to help individuals learn to be self aware, regulate, practice self compassion, care, and recognize their worth is constant and already exists. Every human being deserves to feel regulated, fulfilled, and connected.

I am a believer in the adage "it takes a village".  I am open to collaborating with other professionals to the extent in which a client desires, including but not limited to, a client's physician, psychiatrist, physical therapists, and other professionals in the healing/alternative treatments. 

The following are areas in which I have worked and feel confident in working with adult clients:
