I believe that behind every problem lies the powerful desire for something better.

I use research-based therapies that offer practical methods and skills that build emotional flexibility, self-awareness and resilience. Many of my clients are working to become free of self-defeating patterns resulting from emotional neglect in early or adolescent development. My typical client is intelligent and responsible as well as anxious and stressed, lonely, depressed or angry.

Anxiety is a normal part of life but too much anxiety can make us choose unhelpful coping mechanisms that prevent us from being able to function in other areas of our life. We often feel that if anxiety would just go away, we'd feel better about our day to day lives but where does that leave us when another anxiety provoking situation or event happens? Getting control of anxiety is difficult work but it can alleviate so many of the hurdles we experience in life. As a certified hypnotherapist and licensed professional counselor, we can work together to help you use healthier coping mechanisms to be the person you want to be.
