My counseling approach is electric and person centered. I believe all behavior is purposeful; and sometimes discovering why we behave the way we do can provide insight to our current struggles. I love to hear your experiences and stories so we can make sense of where you are and where you eventually want to go. When we deal with depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief, or life transitions, we all are stuck in our stories. But we can be aware and empowered to change the narratives we feel so stuck in.

When it comes to cousneling for women struggling with Endometriosis (endo) and Adenomyosis (adeno), my approach is a bit more personal. Being a woman who suffers from both diseases, I know first hand how devastating these disease can be to the client themselves, their relationships career and dreams. I share my experiential expertise with women who feel lost and hurt by the very system that promised to do them no harm. I also offering a support group for this population so we can support each other and learn from each other.

Do you need support, but can’t make it to an in-person appointment? Are you a busy stay-at-home or working parent, and don’t have the time to drive across town for an appointment?

Telehealth allows us to provide counseling and therapy to our clients via live video conferencing. This can be done anywhere you have a computer or smartphone.

Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? Do these thoughts often enter your mind? I am worthless and can’t do anything about it. I feel guilty for just wanting to eat, sleep and be alone. I hate who I am these days. I can’t stop crying, which makes me want to stay away from others. I feel gut-wrenching pain, but no one understands. My life and the world around me are dark. I hate it, but I can’t change it. If you have had any variation of these thoughts…

Bereavement and grief aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.

The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, or MBCT, is designed for people who suffer from repeated bouts of depression or chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness.

Recent research has shown that people who have been clinically depressed three or more times in their life find that learning mindfulness-based skills help to considerably reduce their chances of depression returning.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.

CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.

Is Endometriosis taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t get the help you need no matter how hard you try? Do you feel isolated, depressed and anxious about your physical health and the impact it has had on your life?
