Life can present challenges and difficulties working through a variety of transitions, decisions, relationships and traumas. Anxiety and depression is more prevalent now than ever. Whether it is a pattern of difficult relationships, self doubt and low self esteem, self medicating or a dissatisfaction with life circumstances, change and healing is possible. I believe that therapy is a collaborative experience and I work with each client to find a style that works best for them. I do more than just listen. I make observations, offer feedback and engage actively in sessions.

People choose therapy for many reasons such as relationship problems, stress connected to life transitions or feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life circumstances. As a licensed therapist I believe that no one should have to endure pain and suffering alone. Therapy can lead to evolution and growth in all areas of life such as improved self esteem and relationships with others. My style is collaborative and my clients like the fact that I do more than just listen. I raise questions, get them thinking, make suggestions, and engage actively.

How do we move from merely surviving each day to thriving for the long term? While it is true that most of us are products of our environment, histories, and current circumstances, we need not be forever defined or limited by them. Transforming relationships with family, friends, community, society, and most importantly, ourselves, can help us navigate there. If daily life seems overwhelming, unfulfilling, hopeless, or restrictive, my practice can help you clarify your values and needs, expand your coping skillset, create or deepen your connections, and build a meaningful future for your corner of the world.

Any therapy begins with a surface challenge causing life discomfort, where clients seek to "fix," "change," "get rid of," or "not feel/experience" issues like anger, relationship intimacy, anxiety, or decision-making difficulties. As trust builds in the therapeutic relationship, we delve deeper into untangling complex situations, considering cultural background and unique perspectives. Therapy facilitates changes on the level of values, life perspectives, self-reliance, and self-worth. Change takes time; just as it took years to form old habits, adopting new approaches is a gradual process.

While some new clients seek Neurofeedback as the first treatment option for their struggles, most clients come because typical treatments have failed. They are desperate for a real, sustained change! Whether it's the child on too many meds with no real gains, the student still anxious after practicing their cognitive restructuring for years, or the therapy-exhausted, still struggling adult...most have tried a bit of everything but found little success. Upon doing their research, they discover that Neurofeedback offers the chance to truly change how the brain functions by teaching the regulation of brainwaves without side effects.

Take back the reins in your life. For too long you have been pushing through, just trying to get from one day to the next. You drag yourself out of bed each day, trying to forget about last night’s nightmares or the memories that haunt you. It's a constant battle against the worry that tells you something terrible is about to happen, leaving you fighting just to get through your daily tasks. In a room full of people, you still feel entirely alone, lost in your own thoughts. It's exhausting, constantly pretending that everything is okay. Yet you still put on that brave face and keep going.

Do you feel uneasy, tense, or unsafe in your own body? Trapped by your own thoughts and emotions, or a nagging feeling or muscular tension that seem unrelated to your emotional state? I know that feeling; that sensation that we try to ignore but just won’t go away. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, the stress of everyday life or the aftermath of trauma, your body is the container that holds it all—thoughts, feelings, sensations—all our lived experiences that make us who we are. Some of these experiences can help us thrive, feel safe and connected and some can make us feel stuck, uncertain, and reactive.

I enjoy helping people find ways to make positive changes. My clients initially come to their first session with depression, anxiety, and frustration. They are trying to juggle family issues, along with financial and personal issues. Most people need effective skills to help them manage life with less frustration and stress, along with methods to improve their decision-making, thus improving the quality of their life.
