Your mom just sent, “Think you can make the family trip?” Deep Creek this summer would be relaxing. Easy peasy decision right? But you're agonizing over if you should go or not. Your shoulders are as taut as a violin. Your head pounds from the spinning vortex of what to possibly say. Before you know it tears are tipping over the edge and down your cheek. Now they just won’t stop. Your breath is short and shallow as you shut the bathroom door with a click. Turning to the sink, you splash water on your face to snap yourself out of it, hoping it'll keep the nausea at bay. And yet you feel bone-weary tired simultaneously.

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you feel pulled in every direction and unable to find rest? Do you find yourself eventually shutting down from all the stress? There may be some deeper patterns at work, keeping you from thriving. Therapy is the perfect place to explore these patterns, and how your own family of origin may have affected your identity and relational style. I would be honored to share this exploration with you, and help you discover tools to rest, be at peace, and stay present in relationships. Let's create the space for you to find deeper meaning in your life, love, and work. Please call and leave me a message!

I strive to encourage growth and positive change in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Play, with neither a plan or purpose, is the best precondition -- Marie-Louise von Franz. Everyone has a story and sometimes we become stuck in our story because we want to move in a direction that may be different than what is expected. Being stuck may manifest with symptoms of anxiety, depression or other disorders. My approach is to encounter these symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment. The role of therapy is to provide understanding and an empathetic ear with a belief that the activity of therapy will provide insight and healing.
