If you are making the brave decision to seek out therapy, I sincerely commend you! You are taking a very courageous first step, one that can lead to potential life-changing healing and wholeness. Perhaps you are stuck in the damaging aftermath of trauma/abuse, and you cannot seem to pull yourself out of the nightmare of the past. Or perhaps you have felt your life torn apart and controlled by the claws of an addiction, and you feel helplessly stuck in the cycle of your habit. Or possibly you have been struggling all alone with the silent symptoms of a mental illness, and you are too afraid or ashamed to reach out and ask for help.

The people I work with are funny, creative, engaging, thoughtful, determined, and insightful, though they may not recognize their own strengths yet.

Their goals range from managing stress or anxiety, to quitting drinking, to getting a new job, to having clear boundaries in relationships, to making friends. My role is to help clients build the motivation and confidence to accomplish their goals by listening to, encouraging, and challenging them.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed with things in your life? Have you been feeling like your coping skills aren't working any longer? Have you been drinking alcohol or using drugs to make it through the day? If you said yes to any of these questions, then you are the closest you have ever been to changing your life. Being able to recognize that things aren't how you want them to be takes a lot of strength, courage and insight. Often suffering happens in silence. That is why I believe the way to get control of your life back is by sharing openly, and honestly about your experience without judgment.

You don’t have to be diagnosed with a mental health problem to benefit from therapy.

But in order to reap its benefits, it’s important to choose the right therapist—someone you trust who makes you feel cared for and has the experience to help you make changes for the better in your life.
