Looking for a therapist can be hard, but therapy doesn’t have to be! People seek help for many different reasons, but generally one common factor determines how effective therapy will be, the quality of the connection between the client and their therapist. I strive to make clients feel comfortable by providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and caring, atmosphere. I believe empathy, trust, curiosity, and humor are essential components to an effective therapeutic relationship. If this sounds like a good fit for you, I hope you will take that next step and call to see how I can be of help to you.

While your treatment goals will be unique to you, my therapeutic process aims to help bring awareness to how you think, react, and make decisions, and ultimately it is this awareness that can lead to greater satisfaction and connection in all areas of your life.

I have helped adolescents and adults deal with major life issues in university, school, business, community, and hospital settings.

During those years, I continued working with outside consulting and private practice, but, now, focus on clinical practice.

Life can feel too stressful at times but there are ways to move through it. Do you picture the worst case scenario? Do you struggle to prioritize your own needs or find it difficult to say no? Do you wonder why your relationships aren't what you hoped for? By even wondering if therapy is right for you, you are showing yourself incredible compassion and support. Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and let's make time for you. Together, we can understand not only what is contributing to your stress, but how to make changes, choices and decisions so that you feel more fulfilled in your life.

Do you feel the stressors of life weighing you down? Are you feeling like the way you've usually coped is not working for you anymore? I help people struggling with life on life's terms. Sometimes it's the buildup of life's events. Sometimes it's the ghosts of the past still whispering criticisms. Sometimes it's incongruence between your values and your actions. Sometimes it's a culmination of all of these. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, anger, addictions...or all you know is you're not feeling well and could use someone to talk to, I'm here to help. novuscounselingcollaborative.com
