Let’s just be honest here: Life can be very difficult and challenging. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we try, things just get more and more. If you’re reading this page, my guess is you’re wanting what everyone else wants: To feel happy, peaceful and content. While life certainly has its challenges, we don’t have to face them alone. Whether it’s talking things out, unpacking trauma, setting goals or rediscovering who you are, I would love the opportunity to work with you!

Do you struggle in your life with strong reactions to events that seem out of your control? Do you find yourself captured by anger, upset, fear, or anxiety? Have you wanted to find a way to take the difficult things that have happened in your life and somehow have them set a foundation for you to have a better, less critical connection with yourself and others around you? I know how hard it is to make real changes that will lead to lasting peace, joy and effectiveness. I also know that it is absolutely possible to change course and rebuild.

Psychotherapy is for individuals who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. Some individuals seek out therapy to improve their lives and to help recognize and remove barriers to a healthy lifestyle, relationships, and productivity. While others find that troubling symptoms of anxiety, depression, failed relationships, chronic pain, and loss are too intense to manage on their own. I work with individuals presenting with a range of emotional and psychological needs in a safe and respectful atmosphere. I respect and encourage individuals' motivation to change and help them develop their own internal resources to make lasting positive changes.

It can be difficult to gain the support we need to face life's many challenges. Many husbands and fathers are lonely, stressed, or confused about their relationships. The role of mother caring for children or daughter for an elderly parent can feel relentless. Perhaps you have pain you've pushed away for many years making you feel trapped or lost. Counseling can provide the opportunity to safely discuss and express the things we do not or cannot share in our day to day lives. I utilize an interpersonal and solutions focused approach to help unpack your struggles, process your pain, and build practical strategies to move forward.

Asking for help isn’t easy. Especially, if you struggle with people pleasing tendencies, have been told you are "too nice", or tend to overthink or be hard on yourself. I get it and want to help you feel the freedom to be your authentic self without fear of judgement. Because of this, I have received specialized training in trauma, anxiety, and attachment or relationship issues. I also like to incorporate somatic work to help you find balance with your nervous system or "fight, flight, freeze, or fawn" response.
