Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and as though you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and you live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it. This isn’t you, you are used to being fun, passionate, and excited. The worry, the pressure, the desire to be perfect, have all robbed you of your ability to truly engage with your life.

Life can be challenging at times, but I believe with the right tools and a helpful listener we can make it a little easier. I’m passionate about helping clients build resilience and quiet those negative thoughts that make them doubt their potential. I enjoy motivating my clients to be the best version of themselves through positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Once a client can rationalize through their negative thoughts, they can then change their behavior.

The typical clients I work with are like you and me, usually have successful careers, have a faith orientation, although not always, and have a tremendous longing to find, repair, or revitalize something gone wrong in themselves or in relationship with those closest. They are individuals and couples who are hurting at their core, who want more than just a quick fix, a few techniques, or merely a listening ear. They want answers, real, deep, transforming answers. They realize deep down that it is probably going to take longer than they want or expect. But, they are longing and willing to do whatever it takes to get to a better place

Recognizing this, I seek to create an individualized approach to helping your with your problems. While each case is unique, it is also important to use evidence-based treatment approaches. I use a wholistic approach that takes mind, body, and soul into consideration.
