What happens when you sit at home at night and the world quiets down around you? Do you feel uncomfortable in your own skin? Do you feel as though you’re not at ease with where you are in life? So many of us struggle with this uneasiness inside of us that we don’t know exactly how to handle. The uneasiness leads us to make decisions that end up being counterproductive in our life. Whether it comes down to anxiety, addiction, codependency, impulsive shopping/eating or any other destructive behavior, we can help you work through these experiences and accomplish all your goals!

In my opinion, people's biggest fear is vulnerability (you know, "putting it out there"). Often, we refrain from expressing ourselves because we are never certain how we will be perceived. (Am I the only one feeling this way?!) Therapy should be a forum in which you can comfortably express ideas and concerns and be assured that you are not offending anyone, being judged, looked at oddly, recorded, or subject to the ramifications that often are the result of "confiding" in someone you know. I welcome the opportunity to help you unload the "stuff" that has been on your mind...
