You want more than just feeling better - you want to create a better life for yourself and those you love - but you're stuck. You want to get closer to who and how you want to be. You've tried everything you can think of and you still feel bad - physically, spiritually, mentally. What would you be doing if anxiety, panic, sadness, lack of motivation, anger, or confusion wasn't standing in your way? If difficult conversations happened without ending in a blow up, shut down, or disconnection - could life be better together?
I'm 99% sure you didn't get a class - in any school - on how to know yourself, get unstuck from your unhelpful thoughts, challenging emotions, and succeed in long-term relationships. My goal is to help you recover from and grow beyond the setbacks that life throws at you. Working together is about getting on track by loving and living well.
My work is focused on you - personally - and your relational world - the people that matter to you. Since everyone is different, I strive to customize therapy for every client. One size does not fit all. If I am not the best fit for you, I will help find you someone who is. Email me to schedule a call for us to talk about how I can help you.
