Therapy is a journey to self-empowerment and deeper self-awareness. Whether your struggle with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, therapy is a place where you can safely explore the most profound aspects of your mind, recognize your true wants and needs, and learn to effectively regulate your emotions while fostering connection and positive engagement with yourself and the world around you. Therapy can help you better understand how to harmonize the mind-body connection for optimal well-being, life satisfaction, and happiness.

Choosing a therapist is like embarking on a journey to a faraway destination. There are many routes you can take; some may be fast, others may be slow, other routes can show you things you never dreamed possible and some routes are routine. Taking the wrong route can be disappointing whereas the correct route can be life changing. I encourage you to find a therapist who fits your style, someone who will ride along and explore with you, and someone who you enjoy being with through the trials and tribulations, as well as the happiness and joy, of your unique journey. I hope I fit the role of your navigator in this journey we call life

Whether you are dealing with a life change, dealing with a diagnosis, wanting to make a change, or just get some support it's time to call and see how therapy can help.

We all develop ways of surviving life's challenges that at the time make sense but may hurt or hold us back in the long run. How we dealt with the past ends up dictating our current relationships, emotional responses, and belief in our ability to change. While insight building is highly valuable, my experience is that most people already know what holds them back or what they wish were different in their lives. I use skills-based and motivational approaches to help clients move beyond insight and into actionable steps for sustained change.
