Welcome to Chicken Soup Counseling...

All losses have certain things in common. A part of your life is no longer there in the same way. You can lose a dream, an opportunity, or your loss may be something more profound--a loved one, a home,

a pet, or a health problem that ends in a physical loss.

I am here to support and guide you when you are feeling lost, hopeless, depressed or angry. These feelings and others are a natural part of the grieving process.

When we begin to work together, you will undoubtedly tell me a story that describes what is going on in your life and how that makes you feel.  The story and the feelings can change. 

One woman came to me when her mother developed dementia. I helped the woman deal with the ongoing stress, guilt and helplessness she experienced during her mother's illness, and supported her during the grief that followed her mother's death. Our work gave her a safe place to experience and talk about her pain and difficult feelings so she could move forward in her life.

Whether you come as an individual, part of a couple or group member, I will listen to your needs and be with you in the present and as you move into the next phase of your life experience.

Chicken soup is a symbol for healing and wellness.  When I was younger, I could always count on my grandmother to make a big pot of steaming chicken soup whenever I was sick.  Her soup was rich and thick with chicken, carrots, onions, garlic, and noodles. In my work as a therapist  I combine lots of good, nurturing things to help you as you deal with important life transitions.  I offer you a wide range of creative and therapeutic skills to help you achieve wellness and balance.
