We all want a harmonious and peaceful connection with our love ones. Sometimes we find ourselves at an impasse with our partners, children, friends, or co-workers. These impasses act as barriers that keep our relationships from growing or moving forward. Counseling /therapy gives a person the opportunity to see a "barrier" from a different perspective while acquiring new skills to move through the barrier or eliminating the barrier it self. Many times our underline intentions are good ones but our solutions to a problem may become barriers themselves. We may just need a different perspective or create a new way of behaving.

Does life feel really "heavy" right now? Have you been too strong for too long? You do not have to live this way. You do not have to accept a “new normal”.

I utilize traditional talk therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy to find the root cause of the problem and address it at the source. My approach is to teach you the how and the why of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress and then work together to figure out how to help you live your best life possible.

My style is informal and your comfort is important to me as we deal with difficult, often painful subjects. This less formal billing process fits well with my style.

I firmly believe in the capacity of human resilience, and the potential to build a balanced life.
