Whatever brought you to my corner of the internet, I am glad you are here. Therapy, counseling, or whatever you prefer calling it, used to be a taboo topic but today, it's commonly known as an integral part of our healing journeys - healing from whatever it is you have dealt with in the past and/or issues you are currently dealing with. Life can be hard. Being a teenager today can be hard. Adulting can be hard. Parenting can be hard. Losing loved ones is hard, whether it was an expected or unexpected event. Living during a pandemic can be hard. Doing more than one of the above at the same time can be really hard.

I offer therapy services to all individuals, couples, and families. I also offer parenting classes and anger management. I believe in tailoring treatment to fit the needs of the individual client. For this reason I don't use the same therapeutic approach with every client. Every person is unique and I believe it is important to recognize this. In addition to traditional therapy I also offer "Relationship Checkups". These checkups consist of two sessions designed for couples to attend once a year. The checkup is to provide maintenance, prevention and intervention to keep your relationship strong throughout the year.

Life changing events bring emotional struggles such as grief, loss and other challenges. Adults may find themselves questioning and asking "Who am I now?" and "Where do I go from here?". Children, preteens and teens may find themselves navigating through new emotions and experiences as they grow and change. The need to explore and understand these new landscapes is critical to making positive and sometimes difficult decisions regarding self expression and life choices. Overall goals often included finding relief of inner conflict, developing confidence and experiencing growth.

You just want to feel better but there are parts of you that keep you in this vicious cycle of negative beliefs, self-doubt, unproductive patterns, and overthinking. You may feel ashamed and alone as you’re faced with challenges and uncertainties at home, work, or in your relationships. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your emotional pain from an unhappy childhood, stressful life experience, distressing memories, and/or unresolved issues. You are tired of living this way and you are ready to develop more compassion and empowerment to support yourself so that you can start feeling better, lighter, and more free.

Does your child or teen often feel different from their peers, isolated and alone, or as though no one could possibly understand what they are going through? Do they often question why they have certain thoughts our why their brain works the way it does? Your child may be yearning to feel understood and less alone in this world. Often learning that they are not the only one who thinks or behaves a certain way, can be therapeutic in itself. By providing a safe and supportive environment, while taking a child/client-centered approach to therapy, your child may begin to better understand themselves and the world around them.
