Come, tell me everything, I will listen with an open heart. Life is too short to have an inner voice not be our best friend. A favorite quote of mine by Heraclitus is: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man.” An ancient phrase of wisdom that speaks incredible truth. It is my intention to affect those living and coping with often self-imposed restrictions or images of themselves. I will redirect, refocus and reframe negative feelings and internal dialogue that hold you back from uplifting mental health and helpful contributions to society.

Have you wondered where to begin? Have you thought you want things to be different, you want change, but don't know where to start? Sometimes the hurt is too much, or the fear is too great and we stop moving forward. We stall or we freeze. I have been privileged to have met and worked with many individuals who are trying to find their first step, or who are stalled and need a fresh set of eyes to help see the possibilities. I would be happy to join you in your journey to help you get to where you image is your best self. The first step is a phone call.

I prefer to meet in person (with vaccinated clients), however remote meetings are possible.
Surprisingly, the trickiest part isn't the treatment for what ails you, it's finding the willingness to do what's needed. Really, there are two kinds of therapy: There's therapy for your "symptoms," and there's therapy that helps you to embrace change and growth to begin with. Most people have been hampered in some way for some time, then something puts them over the edge and they are suddenly willing to see a therapist. People want to feel better or have more satisfying lives--it's the getting there that's the sticking point!

You haven't felt good for awhile now, something's not quite right. People around you think you're a rock star but inside you feel like a complete impostor. The negative self-talk has gotten so loud inside of your head that you are mentally and physically exhausted. Putting on a happy face for others while inside your head feels like it is about to explode. You wish you could make changes but you are not sure how. Somewhere along the line, you lost your joy and you have lost your voice, you have lost yourself. You are not happy in your relationships. You are afraid to speak your truth. You are aching to feel good again.
