I am a licensed Psychologist and have been providing therapeutic services to adults, children, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Often, I find that clients are struggling to find the right tools for lasting change and are lost in their negative cycles. Individuals are painfully masking their feelings only to realize they are not meeting their full potential. Parents are challenged by their children's never ending emotional struggles that take over the family life. The tools they have are short lived and the emotional struggles persist. Clients are often looking for any sort of relief but unsure how to achieve it.

Are you ready to begin your journey of healing? When we keep doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different result it can be frustrating. It's one thing to see a cycle, but how to break it isn't easy and harder to do alone. Everyone deserves a chance to find peace in their lives and relationships. It can happen! I've worked for many years with parents, children, couples and individuals to change what isn't working and create a life that does work and is free of anxiety, stress, and anger.

My guess is that you thought it would be better than this. You've probably done it all "right" and yet aren't feeling fulfilled in your life and relationships, and get stuck in a negative self-identity preventing true joy. I know that you want more connected and authentic relationships, and to get out of reactive patterns that keep getting you stuck. Parenting is hard, communication isn't always effective, and your inner-critic can really get in the way. You want more ease and to let go of the old outdated narratives. When you can understand your patterns, heal the wounds, and be more present, more authenticity and joy is possible!

I strive to compassionately partner with clients to uncover their true self by identifying the patterns and obstacles that often create internal stress and interpersonal conflict? If you have had questions in life that continue to follow you, anxiety that overwhelms you, or you would like to find another way to approach life challenges, therapy can be a pathway through these struggles. I welcome all those who are interested in change with respect and empathy, providing a safe confidential environment that is individualized to your treatment needs.
