Stressed? Overwhelmed? Ready to feel better? You have started the process, the hardest part is the next step, reaching out and making an appointment. In the chaotic world we live in today, it is hard to reach that place of healing, self-fulfillment and achievement - but just because it is hard, that doesn't mean it is impossible. Whether it's the day-to-day stresses, traumatic events that haunt you or concerns for your children or loved ones - we are all vulnerable to the struggles of human existence and we don't have to walk our journeys alone. We utilize the best evidence-based practices from neurofeedback to talk therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and struggling to manage the day-to-day stressors? Are you feeling upset or overwhelmed regarding the state of change currently surrounding us? Do you feel like the day-to-day stressors are overtaking your ability to cope and utilize effective coping strategies? Are you interested in wanting to learn more about yourself, your talents, meeting your own goals and dreams and getting out of the feelings of being stuck?

Life can sometimes be unsettling and overwhelming; we may need extra support, a different perspective, or a trusted companion on the journey. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to walk alongside individuals and families in their pursuit of emotional and relational health. I am committed to providing therapy in a context of safety and trust, as well as professional excellence.
