You are here because you are feeling unhappy, angry, worried, anxious, panicked, or full of self-doubt. Or you are a couple in need of direction and guidance to work through conflicts.

Are you experiencing a recent transition, stressor or crisis that has brought about pain or confusion, or maybe you are struggling with a longstanding challenge? Therapy is a means to uncovering existing strengths, and to gaining insights and new skills to help overcome the fears that often accompany these challenges.

I see you. You are fighting the internal battle of your thoughts and emotions but no one else seems to see it or notice it.

If you are reading this right now, you are at the point of your journey where you are ready to allow someone else to carry some of those heavy feelings with you.
