Some of human suffering is about the way we experience the events of our lives rather than the things themselves. Therapy offers an opportunity to bring awareness to our experiences and change our relationship to them rather than try to change the events themselves. Through this approach, we gain a sense of control in our lives and positively experience and influence its direction. If we believe that we have power within us to achieve health and happiness, then the events in our lives that cause us pain and suffering can be seen as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and experience personal growth.

We all struggle in different ways and having a listening ear that is non-judgmental and willing to help us work through our journey can be crucial in our development as individuals.

How has pain colored your lens? Clouded your thoughts and decision making? Impacted your interpersonal relationships? Work/School life? Most people don't realize that if pain goes unattended; it impacts every area of our lives; including how we see and experience the world and the people in it. Unattended to pain opens the door to destructive behavior patterns and declining motivation. Pain can show up in addictions, somatic/psychotic manifestation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, etc. When explored with the aide of a professional, that same pain can be utilized to help you discover the best version of yourself.

I am a licensed clinical social worker treating individuals, couples, families and groups. My experience as a psychotherapist has affirmed my belief that each of us has a great capacity to change and grow. Therapy offers no magical solutions. Rather, it provides an opportunity for exploration. It is a chance for the client, with the therapist by her/his side, first to imagine and then to create the best path to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

You want to move past racing thoughts and avoiding your life. Past sadness and low motivation. Past the same draining arguments with your partner. Past experiences that follow you and won't stay in the past. And past big decisions that get you stuck. You are looking to get out of feeling overwhelmed. You want to learn how to get more control. You want more than mediocre cookie-cutter therapy. You want therapy that is personalized for you and about you. You want therapy that fits into your stressful life.
