I work with adults, working through life transitions, stress management, anger, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and a variety of other challenging situations.
Are you feeling worried? Lacking energy and feeling like you are getting nowhere? Feel like you are not being heard? These are some common complaints I hear from individuals looking to make improvements in their own lives. I empower clients to develop creative and effective solutions to obstacles, with the overall goal of achieving happiness and an overall sense of contentment. I primarily utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist clients in removing emotional blocks and to move on from traumatic experiences

Often times people come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of every day life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems going to school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms. Families often report not being able to get along or feeling overwhelmed with parenting a child that is having behavioral problems. They know they need to make a change.

You've searched for a therapist who "looked" or "felt" like they could be a good fit, but something got in the way of you reaching out. Now, it's getting harder to ignore or push away your worry, your anxiety, or overall “stuck” feeling. I've helped clients explore and work through these exact experiences in therapy. I enjoy working with clients who are tired of struggling, settling, and just going through the motions of their lives.
