"It takes a village to raise a child". I have over 15 year experience working with children, teens, and families to enhance relationships, decrease behavior problems, and improve communication within family systems.

Sometimes it's difficult to look at the life we have and compare it to the life we'd like to have, without feeling disillusioned and powerless. Anxiety, depression, life transition, work-life balance, etc., all make life hard. If you find yourself in this position, you're not alone. Processing disappointment and overcoming difficulties can take time, and sometimes it feels like we're stuck and never going to be able to move on in life. If you're having difficulty finding your way, I am here to help.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. Anxiety is easy to recognize. We worry more, avoid difficult situations, and feel tense, awkward, or ineffective. Depression feels exhausting and hopeless. We judge ourselves and other people harshly, feel intense sadness, and become passive. It can feel like we can't do anything right or that things never go our way. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

I believe every individual is an unfolding story. Each decision we make, both big and small, effects our storyline; As an eclectic therapist, I use many approaches because I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all therapy. Each person has learned beliefs they bring into new relationships. Helping to uncover how those beliefs effect their lives is often key to the source of their problems and being able to decide what works for them.

Our mission is to provide quality online mental health and substance abuse services while breaking down the barriers of traditional, office based therapy.

This can be via traditional talk therapy, medication management, mindfulness techniques, an emphasis on health, wellness and fitness or any combination of the above.

We as people are all broken on some level, but we don’t need to stay that way. Depending upon the cards we have been dealt in life, what’s been done to us, and what we’ve done to ourselves, many of us develop fractures in our view of the world. These “fractures” affect how we view ourselves and our relationships. No matter what you are going through at this stage in life, you don’t need to struggle alone. There is hope! Whether you’re dealing with relationship issues, career problems, abuse, anxiety, depression, or self-destructive habits, change is possible.

Have you ever wondered why after years of talk therapy your trauma resurfaces? Feeling like the only thing that helps you survive is avoiding and dissociating? Are you struggling to advocate and set boundaries for yourself? Or feeling so depressed/anxious that you can’t reach for hope to feel happiness and peace? Our behaviors are a result of our experiences. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. So let me pour you a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk. Therapy isn’t meant to be hard, it is meant to provide you with a safe, judgment free space to process your story.
