Whether you need a space to pour your heart out or if you want to address certain concerns, I've got you! I'll create a safe space and support you and together we'll have sessions that make a real difference in your life.

Do you feel like the waves of life have been washing over you, like nothing makes sense, and you can't tell which way is solid ground? Perhaps your relationship or marriage seems to bring more stress and tension than the peace and joy it once did? Or work that brought you joy only brings you dread? Perhaps you've lost a loved one and cannot imagine life without them? If any of these resonate with you then I would like to work with you to take the next step.

Life can be tough, especially if you are feeling stuck, alone, stressed, disconnected, burned out, or like something is missing. It takes a great deal of strength and commitment to work on the difficulties you are facing, you have taken an important step in making a change by looking for support. I offer couples, family, and individual adult and youth psychotherapy.

Are you experiencing stress and anxiety in your work, school, or interpersonal relationships?

You can manage these changes and find insight to your questions through therapy. At Vivian Therapy, our team of therapists will find ways to understand what's going on and develop skills to manage these challenges.
