NOT currently accepting new clients. Life can feel overwhelming when old patterns, anxiety, or painful experiences keep showing up in the present. Many adults find themselves functioning on the outside while internally feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together alone. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and move toward lasting change. Cooper, my trained therapy dog, is often present in sessions and brings a grounding, calming presence. His gentle nature helps create comfort and emotional safety while doing deeper therapeutic work.

You may have spent so long trying to meet everyone else's expectations that it's hard to tell what you actually need. Anxiety, depression, or people-pleasing can take over, especially when boundaries feel impossible or relationships feel one-sided. Some shut down, others over-function. In couples, the same fight plays out again and again. Whether it started in your family, your inner critic or a past relationship, these patterns are painful- and they are exhausting to keep repeating.

She moves through the wilderness with beauty and grace. Fervor for finding the moments of peace between the chaos. A veil of truth lifted at every fork. Shame sweeps but falls to the stream, swept away with pebbles whenever lost. The water points the way with new depths to explore beneath the mystery of the human condition. Flawed, free, and final.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.
