Simply acknowledging that you may need assistance in your journey can be a very difficult step. Sometimes we carry the weight of our past, sometimes we face unexpected struggles or are feeling stuck, knowing that something needs to change. Whatever your reasons may be, you are here, searching for an answer or a solution. I work with individuals 16 and older. My areas of focus include the LGBTQIA+ Community, substance use and recovery, trauma, anxiety, depression, excessive anger, PTSD as well as various issues that stem from transitional stages in a person's life.

Whether you struggle with the racing thoughts, and scary physical sensations of panic attacks and anxiety, or the sadness, emptiness and fatigue common with depression, you feel unable to live your life the way things are now. No longer able to 'push through' your feelings, you feel drained, and unsure what to do.

Clients who find me a good fit are those who are motivated to explore their past and present in order to make choices leading to their best selves.

Throughout life we are all challenged by change and events that cause emotional conflict. There are times when we may feel overwhelmed by these challenges, confused by the changes, and unable to see possible solutions. One of the first steps toward those solutions may be choosing to seek the help of a licensed professional. Therapy can help in discovering our capacity to learn new ways of perceiving that may lead to a more satisfying way of seeing life. Then change and personal growth will occur.

I believe that all individuals possess the ability to bring about the change they desire. Together, through therapeutic exploration, we will explore new and productive ways to help you develop coping and communication skills to attain your life goals.

What if you could have that same connection with your partner that you had when you first met? What if you and your partner could work together to understand each other on a deeper level? The fact is you are tired of arguing about the same things over and over again. Even when you give your best effort to understand your partner, it seems like you are speaking different languages. You are tired of the yelling matches in front of the kids. You are tired of feeling unsure if things will get better. You have given it your best effort. You have tried all the things there is to try. You want to make it work but you have no idea how.
