Whether you are struggling with a relationship, anxiety, depression, trauma or just feeling stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. Life is full of experiences that may mold us into someone we don’t want to be. Sometimes, we carry around anger, fear or feeling like "if I just attain this goal, then I'll be happy". The happiness we find so often is fleeting. Let’s work together to find the contentment and resilience you have been searching for to begin genuinely enjoying life again.

Do you continually struggle with disturbing thoughts and memories which affect the quality of your life and relationships? Are you overwhelmed, uncertain, and disconnected from others.

I am committed to helping you experience positive change, improve your relationships, improve the possibilities for your life, and experience a greater sense of personal strength and spiritual development.

Every one of us is created with certain gifts and abilities that help us find meaning and purpose specific to who we are. We are also created to be relational beings able to live and experience life in the company of others. When events disrupt the natural processes of life, it is good to know you have someone to help you navigate through these confusing times. Good mental health is an important element in the human experience and should never be ignored or set aside. Especially now.

I feel passionate about helping people have hope for the future. Too often people feel hopeless and helpless when thinking about making changes in their lives. I believe, with a helping hand or fresh perspective, we can all discover the strengths and steps needed to make the changes needed to be happier and healthier.

Being a human happens. Struggle happens. Fear happens. Hurt happens. Stuckness happens. Whatever you're going through...happens. Now what? If you're human, like me, you might avoid it, numb it, push it down, sleep more, drink more, eat more, do more and so on. Well, shit. That's not helping! So you decide to maybe talk to someone. Yay, you! I'm so glad you did. If you learn anything from this search process, know this; you are not defected or broken. You are a complex human and that's a good thing. You are capable of of not only the hard-of-life, but the ease, joy and the pleasure too.

Life can be painful, and it can be hard to know where to turn when we feel like we’ve exhausted all our options. Wherever you are hurting, whether it be in family relationships, romantic relationships, your relationship with yourself, or your relationship with the world around you, I’m here to help you find the wound and learn how to heal it.

I believe that by working with individuals and families, healing and relational satisfaction can take place and change in relationships can occur.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression overtaken your life? Asking for help takes a tremendous amount of courage. Whether you are a child or an adult, we will all need help at some point in our lives. One of my favorite quotes is “The greatest source of human suffering is the lies we tell ourselves”. Are you telling yourself that you are alone, losing control, or going crazy? Your problems are normal. And help is possible.
