Making the decision to begin therapy can be incredibly difficult and even scary - but it has the potential to be life changing. Maybe you’ve been feeling like you just can’t find enjoyment in the things you once loved, worries are overwhelming you, it’s overly difficult to maintain a healthy relationship, or your child is struggling and you don’t know what else to do to help. Whatever your reason is for reaching out for help, I’m so glad that you’re taking this step and I’d be honored to join you on your journey toward recovery and wellness. I believe that it is possible for everyone to heal, grow and find happiness.

Our journey together will involve motivational tools and a solution-focused approach. Together, we will explore your strengths and utilize them to empower you during your most difficult times.

I will assist you with managing your pressing concerns and will be your advocate every step of the way so that you can live a healthy, productive life.

You've been thinking about starting therapy for a while now, but there is always a reason not to make the call or send the email to set it up. You’re not sleeping well. Your job or friends or family responsibilities stress you out. Your relationships are unfulfilling. Your sex life is flat (or nonexistent). You don’t feel good about yourself. Heck, you don’t even remember when the last time you felt good, period! But you keep saying, “I don’t have the time.” “It’s not really that bad.” “I’m worried a therapist will just tell me that I’m crazy.” “I’ll see if I feel better next week.” I am telling you: It doesn't have to be this way.

I enjoy working with motivated-for-change individuals, whose goals involve exploring their areas of strength, and areas needing improvement, in order to live their most fulfilling lives. I work with adults who struggle with complex trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and identity and existential crises.

People decide to begin therapy for a variety of reasons. Many have had damaging experiences that they are unable to put behind them. Some feel stuck or make the same mistakes over and over and are unsure why. Others have chronic feelings of low self-worth. Others suffer from excessive worry or panic attacks.

As a person who struggles with day to day stress, you feel tired everyday. It seems you have tried everything but nothing works. Do you feel the same scene playing out in your life over and over again, but you have the inability to change the script? Do you feel powerless in managing intolerable feelings and even more consumed in trying to figure out why you feel this way? My belief is that trauma is the root cause. Most trauma generates from a past or current relationship and can be healed. Even the most severe trauma can be healed.

One beautiful aspect of therapy is starting right where you are. Whether you have engaged in therapy in the past or are looking to try working with a counselor for the first time, I'm here to offer a safe space and company to explore what's happening for you now. We spend much of our lives being conditioned to view ourselves, life, success, worth, and more without priority for our own well being. I invite you to set down those weighty expectations in our sessions and delve into where you fit and feel most authentically you.
