You've been putting in so much effort for a while, but life isn’t going as planned. It seems like everyone, including you, is less than happy with the outcomes. As a result, you’re trapped in fear surrounding what to do next with regard to: your recent loss, your parenting, your relationships, your personal growth, or anything else that is high stakes for you to “just get it right.” You’re a person who works hard but feels you have little to show for how fast your mind and your wheels spin.

Somewhere along your path, you seem to have lost a bit of who you are. Maybe you’ve even forgotten why you do the things you do, or perhaps you’re starting to question the “why”s. You’re hoping to meet the real you someday - and that you like and appreciate who you see. You want to get to know, well… YOU!

Finally, maybe you hide your struggles, afraid that others might discover just how much you don’t have things figured out. Now’s the time to give yourself a bit more kindness, gentleness, and hope. Check out my website, or email me today to learn more about how you CAN create a healthier version of you.

I have found that, while the concepts and perspectives of the cognitive modalities may be beneficial, the more humanistic modalities result in clients finding deeper understanding of who they are within the framework of an often-confusing world. As a result, I offer a more relational and experiential approach to therapy - a sandbox for clients to explore and build each session.
