"Holler if you hear me." Rap legend, Tupac Shakur, pled for the world to signal back to him that his thoughts, feelings and experiences were being heard. To verify that he was not crazy or out of control. So many of us have been silenced, taught to bury our truths and to hide from ourselves. Such practices develop mental, emotional and physical illnesses that then impact generations to come. People need a safe place to release, to connect and to explore the depths of which they were taught not to venture. No matter the age or magnitude of issues, it is vital for you to speak your mind and for empathy to be returned.

There are times when the best of efforts to cope with life circumstances are not successful. Unresolved problems and conflicts can cause emotional stress with psychological symptoms such as feelings of anxiety, depression, moodiness, decreased energy, disruption of sleep patterns, diminished or increased appetites and libido. These kinds of stress can impact relationships as well as daily functioning in the work place and at home. Physical problems such as headaches, stomach problems, and backaches can be due to mismanaged stress. What ever the difficulty any unresolved issue is an appropriate reason to seek psychotherapy.

"A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle." - James Keller Therapy is a process in which two or more people join their resources to create change, decrease suffering and improve their lives. A therapist does not FIX a client, but works together with the client to create change. I am honored to be a part of that process. If the solution was simple, or obvious, you would have already done it. I give perspective, understanding, introduce new information, resources to cope with your situation.

There are a lot of different reasons why an individual may seek therapy. Maybe you are struggling with addiction, grief, or simply need to vent. I utilize a person centered approach to therapy. I value the importance of allowing my clients the time to speak and be heard.

When choosing a therapist it is important to consider many different perspectives. First and most importantly, is this someone that you will be comfortable working with? Education and experience are other considerations? However, when it comes right down to it, it's about connecting. All the great tools that a therapist may have will be useless if you do not connect with them. I have heard from many of my clients about negative experiences in the past with therapists and how they feel like nothing really happened.
