You've been thinking about starting therapy for a while now, but you find 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 aren't 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!
Life is too short to for you to keep this cycle going. In my nearly 20 years as a therapist, I have worked with so many people to help find growth, healing, confidence, and acceptance in their lives. I would love to be a part of your journey to help you to understand your feelings, to feel satisfied with your sex life, to lift your mood, and more.
I've heard it all and I'm not here to judge or criticize. I am here to help. My office is a safe space where you can get support to figure out what's holding you back and how to move forward. You can reach out to me via my website by sending a message to inquire about services, as I find that is the easiest way to make sure that we connect.

The foundation of my therapeutic approach is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means we will work together to better understand how your thoughts may be influencing your mood and behaviors. I will assist you in learning to shape your thoughts (or behaviors) in a different way. As a result, you will notice having better moods, increased feelings of hope, and feeling more empowered.
