Does life feel like it's harder than it should be? Do you feel like you’re somehow too much or not enough? Do you find yourself thinking “I could just kill myself" a little too often? When you have felt alone in this for a long time, it can feel impossible to imagine a different way of being. No wonder you're seeking relief, escape, or comfort. I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern who specializes in working with clients who feel limited by the ways they are living or by the things that have happened to them. The healing work of therapy can reveal the possibilities of a life that feels more free and more meaningful.

Seeking help is an important and personal decision. As a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed mental health counselor, I offer a style of counseling that is both gentle and challenging to individuals, couples and families. My approach in the therapeutic process is one that supports and guides you to gain greater understanding of yourself and your relationships as you work to resolve the issues you choose to address such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relational issues and disruptions in life. In therapy we set goals explore thoughts, feelings and behaviors and work together toward your desired outcomes.

I work with couples who are struggling with the blame game. When we get distressed we talk at our loved ones, rather than with them. It’s a sign of how alone and scared we feel, and how hungry we are for connection. Many of us simply miss our partner's emotional bids and don’t have a map for secure relationships. I help partners to listen with new awareness and to speak with more self-responsibility and tenderness.

I get it. At this point, you may be exhausted with the feelings and/or issue at hand and need a space to feel heard. I commend you for finding the courage to seek out assistance in a therapist that you can trust. Whether it's depression, anxiety, stress or trauma, I am here to help.

I believe the cornerstone of creating change is a strong therapeutic alliance..an affirmative working relationship between client and therapist.
Our past is a part of our current functioning, in that behaviors and attitudes that once helped us survive can sometimes become outdated and problematic. Therapy is one way to help people "revise" their survival tools and live a more enriching and fulfilling life.

I simply want to say, “I am here”. I am here to listen to your unique story. No matter the twist and turns in your life journey, I want you to know that I hear you. Together we can write a new chapter, one that is more to your liking. You don’t need to be saved; you are the hero, the champion, the victor in your narrative. As a student of systems theory, I believe that nobody lives in a vacuum. We act and react to those around us, just as they do with us. This beautiful blending of souls is where tranquility is found.

**Accepting new clients beginning May 2023** Too often we are unable to fully experience our potential in life because we are in pain, feel stuck, or are struggling with difficult emotions. During these times it can be hard to gather the strength needed to move forward. My approach is humanistic, interactive, and collaborative in nature. I trust that a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship has the potential to facilitate tremendous growth and emotional repair. As one moves toward healing my hope is that our work together will empower you to make the meaningful changes and facilitate personal growth.

Deciding to go to therapy isn't an easy decision, but it certainly is a courageous move. Our world often beats us down and tells us that we should be able to deal with struggles on our own. Fortunately, we are made to walk through life's struggles together. I consider it an honor to walk with you and to help you work through challenges that are keeping you from experiencing life the way you deserve. In therapy, I use a positive, strengths based approach to help you reach your goals.

Life has a peculiar way of setting us on paths that we never expected to travel. For some, this means finding yourself "stuck", lost, lonely, depressed, or anxious. Others find themselves struggling with a major life transition, health condition, or traumatic life event or loss they never imagined experiencing and now not getting the support they need to move forward. Perhaps you have found yourself juggling so many different roles or responsibilities, you feel like you can no longer manage to balance or focus. We don't choose for these things to happen, but they happen.

Why settle for less than you deserve: spending your time feeling alone, unworthy, and anxious? Are you entering a new phase of life but feel lost? Maybe you're starting college, navigating parenthood for the first time, or finding yourself in a new city where you don't know anyone... It seems like everyone else has it figured out, so why can’t you? The short answer is- you can! The reality is: it comes with perseverance, dedication, and willingness to establish skills that will help you move forward. You can move forward! You can wake up in the morning feeling hopeful for and deserving of the promising things that life can hold!

Human beings are storytellers. We weave stories from our understanding of our own lives and the lives of those around us. As our minds compose the story it is possible for us to lose track of the plot. Occasionally we find ourselves believing that we are a supporting character in our own lives. You are meant to be the protagonist of your own story. I believe that you are meant to live a life of unique purpose, and that you are worthy of dignity and respect. Counseling can be the place where we recalibrate our thinking, and strengthen the parts of ourselves we keep hidden and safe. Sometimes we need help, and that is only human.

As a man and a father, you never expected to need to ask for help. Yet, life has become particularly tough. It’s hard to talk about, but the worrying and emotional ups and downs have made it hard to find enjoyment in life. Your spouse has pointed out that you are moody and seem different. You’ve had enough of this, though, and are ready for a change. Not just for your family, but for yourself, too. You might not know where to start, but you won't let that hold you back. While getting to work can be hard, you are committed to your family, and are ready to get started.

We all, at some point in life, feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed, and want to feel peaceful again. I believe peace comes from a more integrated self, and I will support you to explore your self, bring more awareness and compassion to those parts of you that contain the hard feelings, and facilitate more acceptance within them. I work with trauma, including childhood trauma, other complex and acute trauma, anxiety, depression, intergenerational relationships, and insomnia
