Whether past or present, we have all faced difficulties or storms in our lives that seem bigger than we can handle alone. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help, to begin a journey of healing whether your storm has passed and you are left with the aftermath or the storm is presently raging. These storms take on many names: depression, anxiety, stress, impulsivity, mood swings, anger, codependency, relationship difficulties, parenting/co-parenting/single parenting struggles, identity issues, life transitions, divorce, grief/loss, technology/social media overload, addiction/substance use. They affect people of all ages.

I enjoy observing relief at the first visit through attentive listening to clients, encouragement, empowerment and goal setting. I have collected a diverse set of treatment skills working with a diversified clientele. I believe that clients are the experts on themselves. Sometimes clients simply want to be listened to, encouraged and even taught things about how to handle their thoughts, experiences and struggles.

Every day seems overwhelming, and often finding a few minutes to focus on your own needs seems impossible, it can feel as if you may never be happy again. Some days it takes everything you have to get through the day, and you wonder, "is this the best my life is going to be?" In the morning it takes all that you have to get out of bed, and at night, you lay awake, unable to sleep, due to worry, fear, and feeling things are just hopeless. It can be scary to reach out to a counselor, you just want to find someone who understands and doesn't judge. Experiencing depression or anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of, it isn't your fault.
