Is your heart broken, hurting or closed off because of grief? Do you feel numb, have trouble concentrating? Do you feel like you are on a roller coaster of emotional energy? You may feel like your heart has closed due to marital distress or separation. You may feel resentment, disconnect, anger, anxiety, a loss of trust and a sense of betrayal in your relationship. You may find yourself facing questions you have never faced before. I can be the therapist there with you as you work through all these painful feelings.
I specialize in working with people struggling with grief, life transitions, marital issues, or divorce. My passion is to help couples get back on track and experiencing a loving relationship. I am committed to working with people in recovery and those whose lives, have been affected by addiction, mental illness, depression and suicide.
Reaching out to a therapist can be very scary and anxiety inducing. Therapy can help you achieve goals, improve your communication, manage your emotions and stress, rebuild your relationships and your life and gain clarity, self-understanding, and long-lasting confidence. Check out my website and give me a call.

"
I work with clients who may be struggling with depression related to grief, relationship and transitional issues. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."
