Thank you for considering me. I know this is hard, but you are not alone. With over 23 years experience, I can help! Feeling sad or anxious? You want to feel content with yourself, but old hurtful experiences keep you in the same life patterns despite your best efforts to change. Toxic relationships and issues with your self-esteem make it hard to set clear boundaries. You want to feel more successful managing when to control and where to let go. Dwelling in your head too much you just want to feel more comfortable in your own skin. Therapy can help you to be more productive, focused, enjoying relationships, and engaged in life.

Hi! If I have learned one thing in life it's that change is difficult, particularly without help. I offer the opportunity to work collaboratively through what's keeping you from living the life you always thought you would have. Therapy can help one let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive changes and a life worth embracing! I look forward to helping you realize those changes.
