Exploring the unknown? I work with clients who find themselves entering into a new life phase. Recently divorced? Discovered a partner's infidelity? Trying to conceive? Experiencing anxiety after a baby? Exploring who you are as an adult adoptee? These phases may have been forced upon you, or maybe they were made by choice. Each one can be difficult due to the particular and unique shame and/or societal beliefs about them. I work with clients to set boundaries, identify their values, re-write their narratives, while implementing healthy lifestyle changes.

YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. Although your story is unique, research has proven that Partners/Spouses of Infidelity, Sex Addiction, or Porn Addiction experience broken trust and you're likely experiencing symptoms of PTSD (intrusive thoughts, avoidance of people/places, mood dysregulation, etc). Combined with the discovery or disclosure of the betrayal, the associated behaviors of gaslighting (lies & blame) will lead to feelings of incongruence within your body and mind which can make you feel like you are going crazy. You are not alone, and you are not crazy! There is hope!! Hope for healing, restoration, empowerment, and non-victim living.

Therapy can provide you with the support you need to overcome current life stress or issues from the past. Therapy provides you with a safe, supportive and confidential environment to help you work through any issues. As a therapist, I provide a comfortable and non-judgmental environment.

I believe that we all reach places in our lives where we are learning, unlearning and possibly relearning the existential areas of: who am I, what do I want, and what are my barriers & blind spots? Some may need help identifying or answering these questions cause they can be overwhelming. We often develop limitations in efforts to cope with grief, stress, control, hurt & relationships. So I Wonder: "Do I want to know what gets in my way maybe what is holding me back?", "What I am avoiding?" or "Do I want to have better relationships?" Therapy can support you when you are answering these incredibly rich questions for yourself.
