Coping with change can be a very difficult, often overwhelming, part of life, yet change is something we all face. Life is chaotic enough without added crisis, and for many people, therapy is the only time they have that's just for them. Over the years, I've had the privilege of helping people of all ages navigate obstacles and emerge stronger. I encourage people to take an active part in their well-being and am pleased to say that I have been continually rewarded by their successes.

You feel the pressure to be perfect all the time-from school to friends to parents. You can’t get your brain to shut off. Lying in bed, at school…the worry is overwhelming. Maybe it’s about your grades, your friends, your parents, or your coach. On and on it goes and you can’t control it. Decision making is paralyzing and you’re constantly doubting yourself and asking other people for advice. Social gatherings may be limited or avoided entirely because of the fear of doing or saying something wrong.“Something must be wrong with me,” you tell yourself. It’s exhausting.

Fat, Black, Neurodivergent, Queer. This is your safe space to feel seen, heard, validated, affirmed, and celebrated. Experiencing oppression, a lack of safety in who you are, living in a world deeply not made for you. I understand how painful this can be, and I also understand that it’s possible to build your own world. Surrounded by the right people, and with a profound sense of self-worth. As you go through life your relationship with others and even yourself can bring stress, anger, hopelessness, and other emotions which become too much to handle alone.

Life just doesn’t line up with what you hoped it would be. Despite looking like you’ve got it together on the outside, you feel anxious and depressed on the inside.. You’ve lost yourself in the midst of trauma, a diagnosis, loss, or life transition. You can’t shut your brain off. No matter how hard you try, you struggle with worry, rumination, guilt, and feelings of worthlessness. The negative self-talk leaves you feeling alone and afraid. This affects all aspects of your life. Your world feels like it’s getting smaller and smaller, and you don’t know where you fit.

Many people come to therapy feeling as though they cannot take, “one more thing” - they’re overwhelmed, exhausted, or burned out. Some are coping with symptoms that don’t have a clear explanation - and they're feeling dismissed, unheard, or minimized by others. Some are parents or caregivers navigating the emotional weight of supporting loved ones with immense needs, including chronic illness, or other complex conditions. As an LCSW and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, I strive to create a space where you feel supported, believed and respected, rather than judged or ignored.

Immediate daytime availability virtually on Monday through Thursday. There are many obstacles life may throw at us. Often these obstacles are unexpected and throw us off our desired path. Sometimes it may even feel that we have lost our way and our original path is out of sight, unable to be found. You may start to feel defeated or overwhelmed by what to do next. But with a little help, there is hope that you can rediscover your path or create an even better one!

As a veteran and retired state trooper, I have experienced the impact of the accumulation of stress from multiple critical incidents in addition to the need for confidentiality. You may feel like no one in your organization values or respects your dedication and that hurts the core of who you are. You loved your job, but now it feels like you don't recognize who you used to be and hide your suffering from those who know you best. You are afraid that a therapist can not relate to what you have been through, and fear your teammates will think you're weak.
