Life can be a real challenge: stress, arguments, impatience, thoughts of divorce , feeling disconnected, depressed, anxious..... It can be hard knowing what direction to take, where to draw the line with others, and how not to be used or abused in the process. Some people need a long-term therapist to work through deep and enduring problems while others may want to check-in for only a session or two to keep in psychological shape. Your goals for happiness, sorting through a decision, reducing your anxiety, or just figuring out what is wrong are equally important to me in working with you.

CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional) Our lives are full of obstacles that that can prevent us from living life to it's fullest. Some obstacles we seem to bring upon ourselves while others are thrust upon us. Overcoming these obstacles can be difficult and sometimes painful. I see my role, as a therapist, as helping individuals identify the thoughts and emotions connected to life's challenges and dealing with them in a way which promotes understanding, growth and healing.

NO Wait List: Whether you are a child, teen, or adult, there are things that cause stress in life. Sometimes it is school, work, or even a relationship. Other times, it may be more complex and may have even been a significant event such as a loss of a loved one (even a pet), trauma from when you were younger, or maybe a recent change threw you for a loop. With over 20+ years of experience working with children and adults I can assure you that there is a way through what you are feeling. Together we can work through those issues using an individualized and wholistic approach (and hopefully find some laughter along the way).

Advancing through the obstacles of life is not easy. As human beings, we experience a wide range of emotions and it is natural to experience unwanted thoughts and/or feelings. Furthermore, navigating through modern life stressors and crises does not always come naturally. If your child, teen, or young adult is experiencing difficulty, counseling services may be a healthy and beneficial way for them to learn how to process and cope with external and internal stressors.
