Perhaps, it’s been too long since you experienced passion and fun with your partner, or you're going through a relationship crisis. You remember when things were different, and you long to be close again. Relationship troubles can de-stabilize everything in our lives; yet, there is hope! Through couple therapy, you will be able to increase your understanding of one another, and solve problems, together.

If you're in the process of looking for a therapist you likely have been dealing with obstacles in your life that have felt insurmountable. Anxiety , depression, relationship troubles and questions of identity are all excessive burdens to an often already complicated, stressful life. Maybe you’ve tried to muscle through these issues, but ignoring them has not made them go away. Counseling can be a space where you can build skills that help manage these issues, where you can have a space that you don’t need to filter yourself, or maybe just to have a space where you feel supported.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about others, what they may think, or how they feel? Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety?

My practice utilizes a client-centered approach, which encourages clients to be in the driver seat of their own experiences. I foster an environment that helps create a strong therapeutic alliance, while also incorporating approaches that encompass holistic and collaborative dynamics. I believe we are all made up of parts and that they show up in different ways to support and protect our inners selves. I work with my clients to have a better understanding of their parts, how they interact, and how these parts show up in the day to day. I believe knowledge in oneself is empowering and leads to individual growth.

I understand that not every individual benefits from the same intervention, and it's for this reason I bring an eclectic tool kit, including but not limited to: Acceptance-Based, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, Emotionally Focused, and Relaxation strategies.

Life has many challenges, and we live in a world that tends to make us feel abnormal if we aren't happy all of the time. Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to heal and accept ourselves. Maybe you are feeling out of balance with the pressures of work and/ or personal relationships. Maybe anxiety and stress are causing you to lose sleep, feel depressed and/or to act out with excessive behaviors such as drinking too much or overeating. Maybe you can't control or stop a behavior that causes you shame or regret.

Sleepless nights. Sheer sense of panic courses through your veins as you lay awake. The clock reads 3am staring back at you once again. With little to no sleep night after night, the cycle never ends On the outside, you are the picture of composure. People say “they’ve got it all figured out. Not a worry in the world.” But on the inside, a battle wages on. Your inner demons have a tight grip on you. You feel hopeless and exhausted.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in patterns they do not understand.

**NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Making a change can be a scary process, but with the guidance of the right person it can be just as rewarding. Therapy can help you overcome challenges, learn more about yourself, achieve goals, and increase satisfaction in your life. As a therapist, I provide a genuine, warm, and open environment that allows you to explore your difficulties, understand your strengths and weaknesses, and develop insight. I view each individual I work with as unique and strive to create an environment that is best suited for your personal needs.

We are living in such bizarre times, and managing life stressors can be difficult but they do not have to be a burden. Making the decision to come to therapy is a courageous one and I commend you in taking this important step towards help. Do you sometimes feel stuck or wonder how you can get from where you are to where you want to (and can) be? I make every effort to create a safe space to support my clients in a warm, welcoming environment. I have experience working with individuals impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, significant life changes, and important role transitions.
