We can be overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or experiences of loss and grief...sometimes leading to isolation, being "stuck", or unhealthy relationships with substances, behaviors, or people. What drives me as a therapist is when I see a client taking action that makes their mind an ally, rather than a detractor, in their life.

Now accepting clients for issues of depression, anxiety, trauma or relationship difficulties. It takes courage and commitment to begin treatment and challenge long standing patterns. Those who do, find the rewards great, including enhanced self-awareness, compassion, and self acceptance. We will explore together the unique struggles that hold you down or hold you back.
