Sometimes the weight of the world can feel like it's crashing down on you. You may not know where to turn or what to do. Having a third party perspective can be helpful in seeing things in a different light to develop a comprehensive plan to address issues. I work with individuals and their families to identify and challenge dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors that may be harming themselves, as well as those they love. Whether you are just looking for help coping with a stressful life event, substance abuse issue, or are ready to make a major life change, I am here to help.
Mutual trust and respect in the therapeutic relationship is imperative and a primary goal in our work together. Areas of focus are often family dynamics, learned behaviors, boundaries, communication skills and cognitive distortions. I provide direct and forthright observations and feedback, while encouraging growth and postive change.
Feel free to reach out and schedule an intake appointment where we can discuss what brings you to therapy, as well as what your goals for our time together are. I look forward to hearing and working with you.
