The stories we remember and tell about our lives inform who we are and who we want to be. It is a privilege to hold space for the stories my clients tell as we work together to find meaning and purpose within them. I utilize an eclectic combination of techniques including CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy to help my clients through the hardships of being human. If you are struggling to communicate with your partner, are having difficulty managing your anxiety, or are generally feeling overwhelmed by life's many changes and demands, then you are in the right place.

Are you hurting so much that you're wondering if living is really worth all this pain? It hurts so bad that it feels physical; you can feel it in your gut. You don't let those closest to you know what's going on because no one gets it; no one can help. Sometimes you feel completely out of place, like you don't belong here. Everything hurts so much and you can't stand it anymore. You keep looking for ways to take it all away. You don't deserve to hurt like this anymore. And you don't have to. It's time to take control of your emotions so your emotions stop controlling you.

Each day we strive to know better and do better. Each day we can reflect on how things went and adapt for the next day. We get to celebrate successes and, with or without success, we get to celebrate growth. Growth can be uncomfortable and yet continuous lifelong growth is necessary to live a life of fulfillment. Sometimes we all need someone with us on our life journey of making meaning of our experiences and finding purpose and reaching goals.
