Life is hard. Everyone walks through tough times, and no one should have to do it alone. It is my goal to walk with my clients through trials and see them emerge a stronger, healthier version of themselves. It takes courage to ask for help, therefore everyone who walks through my door is treated with respect and met with empathy and compassion.

At Willis CC, our guests are encouraged to challenge themselves & find new ways to cope with life’s challenges. We believe to be human is to experience pain. We believe suffering, while part of the human experience, is not the identity of our humanity. Therefore, helping you hold pain lightly & with compassion while taking action to change your life is essentially what therapy is all about. We are dedicated to offering support & nurturance to those seeking a new direction while holding onto their values. You don’t have to see a therapist for the rest of your life, in fact, the sooner you need us less, the better for everyone!

WHEN LIFE CHANGES OR NEEDS TO CHANGE, you want to figure out what this means for you and those around you - especially during times of crisis, when you simply feel stuck, or when overwhelmed by more than one problem. I work very successfully with adults and teens to tackle difficult problems - including LIFE TRANSITIONS AND RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES OF ALL TYPES whether partner, parent/teen, professional or personal - and help you gently move through any deeply felt emotions of loss, frustration, or anger. I help you navigate through tough periods of stress, sadness, depression, and/or crippling anxiety symptoms - and guide you to enjoy renewed hope.

When life is overwhelming, I want to give you tools that can bring immediate relief. My approach is to tailor our work to your needs. Although I have worked with many clients with varying issues of all ages, my specialties include issues of grief/loss, chronic medical illnesses (cancer, diabetes), depression, anxiety, relationship issues, LGBTQ and fertility issues. I strive to help you concentrate on the present, focus on the future and explore the past to understand current behaviors and coping. I create a safe place where you can share and acquire more coping tools to adjust to life changes.
