Life can be messy. At times, this means reaching out to a fellow human being who can assist you along the way. Whether you're navigating a difficult situation or just looking for personal improvement, I'm here to support you.

Change is inevitable but necessary. Adulthood, for example, can be tough for young people. I understand the roller coaster of emotions & challenges that come with transitioning into adulthood. The daily stress of excelling in high school & college. The pressure of choosing the right career. The confusion, frustration & uncertainty of trying to navigate modern dating & relationships. The realities of starting a family. Dealing with problematic relationships at work. The pressure of becoming independent & successful in our culture can be overbearing and often leads to burnout, anxiety, feeling lost & not good enough, or perfectionism.

In my experience, I find that people seek out therapy to discover ways to cope with, regulate and resolve difficult emotional states and to improve interpersonal relationships. The conflict that is both within ourselves and in our interactions with others, is a part of life that can be highly distressing but can also open up opportunities for positive growth and change. Our lives are full of rich and complex experiences and sometimes we move through them so quickly that we do not have the time to understand or to appreciate the deeper meaning and insight that they can bring.

There are times in life when we can feel off balance and can't seem to snap out of it. When our own natural support system just isn't enough, it may be time to reach out to a professional and start the process of therapy to regain the joy of living. As I begin to work with you as one of my clients, we will not just talk, but work together towards creating lasting and sustainable results. I believe that you should always guide the process of your therapy and I encourage that in our sessions. I always strive to create a positive therapeutic relationship with my clients and will treat you with dignity and compassion.

To be heard and understood is one of our most basic, fundamental human needs. Losses, life transitions, relationships, and even extended periods of stress can cause us to feel confused, overwhelmed, and even hopeless. You are not alone if you have found yourself struggling in any of these areas. My primary goal is to welcome you into a safe and collaborative space where personal growth can be fostered, and hope can begin.
