Sometimes therapy is needed during a crisis when hope seems impossible. Other times, therapy is a way to reboot and move forward. Have you been plagued by shame, guilt, fear, doubt, despair, grief, abandonment, disappointment, hurt, rejection or any other negative emotion? Are you paralyzed by past experiences or decisions? Are you ready to move beyond the notion that you can't move forward? Choosing healing is a powerful choice. Allowing previous pain to prevent you from your promised purpose should NEVER be an option. In the therapeutic environment, I join you, in your journey toward healing and becoming whole.

Do you feel anxious, lost or alone? Is it difficult for you to share your feelings with others? Do you long for more love, joy and meaning in your life and relationships? Do you feel so busy taking care of others that you have neglected yourself? Would you like to experience more freedom, connection and passion? Psychotherapy is an effective, dynamic, interpersonal experience that can help transform your life and relationships. Using an interactive, sincere and supportive style, frustrating patterns can be unraveled to create more satisfaction, pleasure and balance in your life.
