Let's be honest, therapy isn't the first choice for most people. If, however, you are in a place where this might seem like a good option, I'd appreciate the opportunity to work with you. Whether it is personal issues or you're having difficulties with your spouse, significant other, parent, or child(ren). Or, maybe you just need some support with a transition in life. I enjoy working with people from all walks and stages of life and while change is up to you, know that I'm willing to be in your corner along the way. In addition to myself, we have a team of 13 other providers ready and wiling to help in any way we can.

Experiential Therapy is another modality that I often use, especially with children and families.
Have you ever asked yourself, why do I keep getting involved in unhealthy relationships? Or do you feel stuck and not sure how to move forward? It may be time to stop focusing on the problem and focus on the solution instead. In my process I help clients remember when they were in a good place. In our sessions we will utilize your strengths, resources and hopes to help you get to a good place again and have the ability to move forward in your life. If you are looking for a bias and judge-free space for you to express your emotions I can provide a safe place to talk.

I have walked alongside children, adolescents and adults who have been diagnosed with PTSD, grief, anxiety, and depression.
"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become." In today's world, people can be ambushed by any number of experiences that can leave us drained, exhausted, and feeling like it's hard to move forward. Counseling can be an outlet for individuals to sort through what they're feeling, and get perspective, and assistance, and most of all, a certainty that someone is listening; that your voice is being heard.
