While vulnerable, healthy people seek therapy because not avoiding and recognizing you need support, is a sign of strength. I provide therapy to people coping with life changes, relationship stressors, loss, trauma, depression/anxiety, infertility, health issues, parenting, or job challenges (including the military). It's important to find a therapist with skill and training, however positive outcomes in therapy largely depend on the relationship you build.

Currently accepting new clients, and welcoming in-person, tele-health, and eco-therapy sessions. Are you struggling to overcome emotional pain, heal from past hurt or trauma, get “un-stuck”, and create positive changes? I understand what it feels like to feel stuck, to want something different, to know that what you are doing isn’t working and that there is a better way but being unable to let go of unhelpful habits, patterns, social constructs, and/or relationships that are keeping us there. Change is possible and is most possible when one decides they just can’t keep living this way anymore and something must give.
