One of the hardest things is feeling like we have hurt or disappointed those closest to us. It’s a struggle every day to keep relationships and even friendships going smoothly. We often disappoint ourselves, and life hasn’t always been what we hoped it would be. Maybe things look good on the surface but inside we feel like everyone else has it figured out while we barely keep it together. It doesn’t have to feel like this, and I can help you feel better through therapy. While in therapy with me you will definitely laugh, you might cry, and you will see changes in your life that you’ve wanted for a long time.

Are you feeling run-down, overwhelmed, or numb? Do you feel 'just blah' most of the time? This is such a painful experience, and you are not alone. We are conditioned as children to do and be what we are 'supposed to,' and this can become destructive to our mental health as adults.

It's easy to feel lost right now and to not know how to navigate life and everything that comes with it. You do not have to have everything figured out because sometimes the best thing you can do is to keep moving forward, but after doing it alone for too long, it becomes harder. Asking for help and starting therapy can be scary. Especially if you have never done it before or had a previous bad experience. My job as a therapist is to help you increase your inner-strength and navigate whatever overwhelming emotions that you are having.

"Obstacles don’t have to stop you if you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up, figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Every person has the ability to reach beyond the limits of what is possible, and we only reach these limits by working through them until we go beyond them into the impossible. Each step we take can move us towards achieving those goals.

If you are searching for new perspective to address behavioral issues, tools to reduce anxiety, or just looking for guidance in parenting then give me a call.

Services Provided: in-house referrals, one-time assessments, and consulting. As an owner of a small private practice, I have come to know the ins and outs of mental health, as well as the system framework in which it exists. For clients, this means that I can help link you to the best fit within our practice for ongoing care, or provide a one-time comprehensive assessment (per your prescriber's request, or for clearance for certain surgeries). For professionals, this means I have been through the process of opening a small business, and can provide consulting services to help guide you as you open yours.
