Currently accepting new clients for individual and couples therapy. - - We all have difficult moments that bring about uncomfortable emotions; Sadness can feel like it will never end. - - Feelings of anger are exhausting to say the least. - - Regrets make us feel terrible about ourselves. If only there was a button we could simply press that would make us feel happiness. Although that magic button may not exist, you have the power to make changes. Therapy can help us discover new ways to solve problems and feel better about our lives by talking things out in a confidential space.
I would be honored to listen as you speak about your own journey, and to help you find the path that you want to take in life. I specialize in working with adults, couples, teens, and families experiencing trauma, OCD, and depression concerns to name a few.
Your relationship with your partner should be joyful, not stressful. Sometimes our past traumas can bring stress into our relationship. I invite you to share your experiences so that we can heal your traumas and your relationship with your partner. Call, email, or reach out through my website to get started with a FREE consultation.
