Infidelity ocurrs in many marriages. You may discover your partner has had an affair, or many affairs, and now you are experiencing the devastation this creates. Feeling pain and anger are expected.

Do you feel that you have to act like everything in your life is perfect when inside you are feeling overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, helplessness, or anxiety?

Imagine waking up eager to take on life’s challenges, feeling confident that whatever problems you face, whether home, job or relationship, you have the ability to recognize and overcome them.

It can be scary to be vulnerable and pour out your heart & soul to a total stranger. Throw in some blank stares, silent head nods, and a cold, doctor-like setting? Terrifying. That's why I do things differently. The last thing I want is for you to feel uncomfortable, judged, or scared. I want you to feel safe, welcome, and accepted just the way you are, and will be my genuine, authentic self with you, as well. By modeling authenticity, I find that this enables my clients to feel comfortable discovering, and ultimately embracing who they truly are!

Thank you for taking a moment to visit my website. I am passionate about supporting my clients on their journey toward personal and professional growth. My primary objective as a clinician is to help them raise their awareness regarding thoughts and behaviors that impede their growth and then to join with them in creating clear pathways toward change.

An ideal client would be an individual seeking a better life and might be unable to connect the dots.

As a parent, there's nothing worse than watching your child struggle. Standing by and watching their grades fall and their anxiety rise is excruciating, but nothing you've tried is making the situation better. Your child doesn't seem to know what's due or when, they are unorganized, have no plan for studying, lack effective study habits and skills, and have trouble disengaging from their phones. Communication is breaking down between you and your child and they seem unmotivated and apathetic toward school. You may also be questioning if your child is just being a typical moody teenager or if it's more serious. Are they depressed?
