Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral addictions, family conflict, high stress levels, ADHD, pornography, body shame, problems at school, communication or other problems with your partner or spouse, parenting your teens, struggling with adjusting to new life changes, getting along with others in your interpersonal relationships, or are you just feeling stuck and can't explain it?
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist who offers individual, couples, and family counseling from a systemic perspective. I provide therapy for people with family problems or conflict, interpersonal relationship issues, couples and marriage problems, behavioral addictions, body shame issues, pornography, grief, anxiety, and depression.
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Therapy isn't about being sick or broken. It is about awareness, curiosity, healing, hard work, self-care, accountability, authenticity, and finding happiness. I would love to meet you, help you, and advocate for you.
