"Hot mess." A funny little phrase that some use to humorously describe their struggles. Have you ever described your situation with this phrase, but it's not funny anymore? You just can't seem to get your life together and fear that maybe you will never be able to gain control. Your sense of humor has been replaced by anxiety, sadness, anger , and aggravation. Sometimes you explode, causing more problems or harming people you care about. It's not like you woke up one day thinking "I'm going to make a mess out of my life," but somehow, that is exactly what has happened.

My approach to therapy is to meet you where you are and empower you to take the next step through goal setting and skill-building. I hope to help you push through fears and learn healthy ways to cope in your life. Regularly confiding in someone gives us a sense of security and peace of mind.

A healthy sense of humor is just as much a bridge to another soul as it is a shield against the unbearable.
