Sometimes during your journey in life, or in the journeys of persons close to us, we get lost. Ideally, there is a book nearby when lost that tells us specifically how to solve life's challenges. If such a book exists, I've not encountered one. During such times, the practice of psychotherapy is often the "book" and answers we seek.

Nothing can be changed over night, but together we can work together.

In my practice with clients, I try to create an environment of compassion and acceptance in which the client feels safe and supported to do their own self-exploration and healing. My approach is to be respectful and mindful and adapt to the unique needs of each person I work with.

Are you or someone you love experiencing the effects of addiction? Its confusing to know what to do, which then leads to indecision or feeling entirely stuck. Often, addictions stem from dysfunctional experiences in childhood. If you’re experiencing an addiction- or have a family member who is- then you can probably relate to feelings of extreme loneliness, struggles with perfectionism, avoidance of feelings, codependency issues, anxiety, and various types of family conflict. You don’t have to go through this alone. TOGETHER we can move toward healing these emotional wounds one step at a time.

The power of obtaining an understanding and acceptance of their current situation, frequently leads to a feeling of control in managing difficulties, and allows them to move forward to a healthier level of functioning.
