Therapy is about the connection between you and me. This is the beginning of a profound review of one's life that points to a future with less pain. My calling is to be in this process with you to better health. My speciality is Men. In today's culture they are often left behind; yet men struggle with: lack of purpose, sadness, anxiety, trying to figure out who they are-just like anyone else. James Hollis puts it this way…“Who Am I apart from my history and the roles I have played?” Perhaps you feel the dreams of youth have been derailed or are inconsistent with where you thought you’d be now. Let’s take a look.

Some days it can feel like you're hopelessly trapped in an endless loop of struggle with no way out. When something bad happens humans cope in funny ways. Be it substances, relationships, media, sex, whatever makes the pain dull. You're stuck with yourself so what are you supposed to do when you've been turned against yourself? You're doing things you KNOW aren't working but you also don't know what's better. The judgement that comes with revealing this to anyone hardly seems worth the risk of another rejection. At the same time, you'll always be stuck if you don't risk that. So how are you supposed to find the way out?

My goal is to provide a secure place where you can discover your awesomeness. Using openness, curiosity, and humor, I will be right by your side as you work through the difficulties of the past. Trauma, addiction, relationship/attachment difficulties, and the emotional pain you're experiencing will begin to resolve as you are not just accepted, but actually celebrated for all that you are!

We are all searching for something and we are all on a journey. Some of us are trying to make our way toward a more complete and genuine sense of self and identity. Many of us struggle to utilize positive coping to deal with previous challenges and future obstacles. Others of us are young, experiencing intense emotions, and do not know how to handle them. Some of us are parents who genuinely want to be more calm and peaceful around our kids. And there are also many of us who are facing big life changes, feeling unprepared for what we will find on the road ahead. All of us need an experienced and supportive guide along the way.

It's hard to be a human sometimes, isn't it? Trauma, stress, anxiety, grief, and pain can overshadow the joy and peace our hearts and minds long for. We may find we are not living the life we truly desire, or we may wonder how we will ever find our way back to ourselves. I'm no stranger to life’s challenges but wholeheartedly believe it is still possible to find hope and healing even in our most difficult seasons. My passion is to companion with clients as they learn new skills, develop resilience, reclaim wholeness, and pursue a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
