You’re overwhelmed with expectations and responsibilities. Though you appear to “have it all together,” that doesn’t match how you feel. Having others rely on you is a great compliment, but it also brings heavy pressure. You desperately want change but are afraid of what others will think, if you will be judged or if you will lose relationships. Who will you be if you are different from who you are now? There’s only one answer…YOURSELF; the person you truly are. Learn to set boundaries, invest in your self-awareness, and live by your values. Learn how to take care of yourself & still take care of your responsibilities. (Yes you can)

Security, stability, balance - these three words come to mind when I think of ultimate human desire; to feel safe, stable and overall a sense of balance within our lives; at times we may feel these are not being met. It is my hope for us to work collaboratively to identify problem areas and work towards regaining balance in your life. My goal is to approach our therapeutic relationship with compassion, non-judgment, empathy and acceptance. I build my work upon a client-centered approach, as I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation to therapeutic success.

People seek therapy for all kinds of reasons. Some struggle with anxiety or depression, others have endured a trauma or significant loss. Many are trying to keep a relationship together or pick up the pieces after one’s ended. Some want to work through a particular problem that's kept them stuck and unable to get ahead, others simply feel discouraged or unsure of themselves. Whatever your situation might be, therapy can help. It provides an opportunity to share your concerns with another person and work together to discover a way forward.
