Are you someone who is skeptical about therapy?  Does the idea of talking to a stranger about your issues cause you to feel uneasy, maybe even angry? Are you struggling with addiction or addictive behaviors to self-medicate negative emotions?  Do you feel like you don't know how or where to start? The therapeutic process doesn't have to be intimidating. I'd like to help you get started on your path by challenging unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My ideal client is someone motivated to do this. I enjoy working with 1st Responders, people who are dealing with anger, addictions, interpersonal issues and work/life balance.
