The stress that people face comes from all sides. Therapy is a road to healing and health when stress and anxiety become a burden. If you are an adult overwhelmed by the demands of life, and feeling like you are never enough for anyone, counseling will provide you with the necessary support to be more present and confident in your daily life. If you are are a teen feeling disconnected from your parents, your friends, and yourself, counseling will give you tools to understand yourself and connect with those most important to you. If your child has unique needs or challenging behaviors, parenting counseling will help.
With over 15 years of experience, I will help you implement strategies that will provide relief and restoration. We will break patterns that keep you locked in anxiety and stagnant in accomplishing your goals. In the place of old patterns, you will have new strategies to apply that give you confidence, self-awareness, and ultimately successful progress.
There are times in life that can seem overwhelming, but they can be an opportunity to dive in deep. If we can look into the struggle and hold the tension, there is light. This work is hard, but you are worth it. You are braver and stronger than you think. Let's get started.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am certified in EMDR for trauma treatment, and in a parenting approach for parents of anxious children called Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions. Together we will find ways to change negative thoughts into more practical and helpful ways of thinking, and we will find new ways for you to move through your stressors for better results.
