Life in general can be very challenging. Struggles with relationships, life stressors, fear, and self-judgment of not being ‘good enough’ can be difficult to navigate and sometimes we feel as if we can barely keep our heads above water. I know this personally as I’ve felt I was drowning at times myself. But there is a way out. Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings to better understand and find solutions to life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to help you feel safe, supported, and seen. Thus, opening the door for you to deeper self-exploration and growth.

No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel that life has become stagnant. A mixture of emotions weighs heavily on your heart, yet you keep moving forward. At times, the responsibilities of life make you feel overwhelmed and cause anxiety, sadness, anger and isolation. You feel tired and unmotivated, but continue pressing on for yourself and those around you. You may feel as if you are just going through the motions. You tell yourself that if you can just get through today, tomorrow or next week, you may feel better. The many losses in your life may have caused you to work and push yourself, almost as a distraction.

“Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you do not belong.” (Mandy Hale) Sometimes the path in life looks different from what was imagined or planned. This can cause anxiety, depression, loss of direction, overwhelming sensations, trauma/PTSD, compulsions, and various forms of grief. You do not have to navigate growth and change alone. Together we can create a safe and comfortable place where you can heal from pain and discover a bright path ahead.

First of all, you can call me Dee! I believe that many of our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving (reacting) make sense given our context and experiences. I encourage my clients to explore both their past and present in order to better understand which patterns work for them and which patterns no longer serve them. By collaborating with the client (you!), I help them to identify their strengths and build new skills and insights for managing life’s stressors. I also incorporate mindfulness and psycho-education based on client need and interest.

Seeing a therapist doesn’t mean there is something wrong with you. It means that you may be seeking clarity in some areas in your life, or wanting to work through complex emotions. It may mean you are working through a traumatic experience or challenging negative thinking patterns. Some people come to therapy to learn new ways to cope with difficult situations, or they may be focused on personal growth. Whatever the reason you are considering therapy, I can help you increase your understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors and explore areas in your life that you would like to improve in a compassionate and empathic space.

Life will sometimes be hard. I have a myriad of experience working with issues ranging from anxiety, relationship struggles, grief & loss, trauma, divorce, depression and many more. I can compassionately support you through these struggles to get to the other side...back to a place of stability and peace. I am adept at meeting individuals where they are and tailoring my treatment to their needs. Through the years I have found that a "one size fits all" approach is often useless. I'm skilled at identifying the best way to work with each client. I love my work and am honored to support others on their journey of healing & growth.
