For many people, therapy offers an inviting space to share thoughts and feelings you might not feel safe to share in other relationships. Others may view therapy as a sign of failure in not being able to solve life problems on one's own. I have worked with individuals at both ends of this spectrum. I often treat individuals who find it hard to know what they want in life and easily lose themselves with others, those who struggle to find love, and who suffer from feelings of worthlessness and emptiness. I am particularly adept in working with trauma, loss, relationship conflicts, destructive habits and family issues.

I have extensive experience treating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, couples issues, all forms of addiction issues, substance abuse, childhood trauma, codependency, issues related to growing up in a dysfunctional family and self esteem difficulties.
Feeling overly stressed, disconnected in relationships or just going through a down turn can be very uncomfortable. If you are struggling to figure your situation on your own, I can provide hope, connection and strategies to address current stressors as well as behavior patterns that may have started in childhood. Seeking a therapist thats a good fit for you can be stressful as well. Great things can happen when you do find the right fit. This is very important to me. I am down to earth, experienced in life and have a talent for bringing out the best in people.

Life poses many challenges and seasons for us all and most of the time we are able to take control of these situations in a healthy manner and move forward. However, sometimes we are unexpectedly troubled by our experiences and need help navigating beyond them. It is with these moments that therapy can offer insight into the cause, objective feedback, and treatment that will help you to move forward in a happy and healthy way.
