My hope is that we can work together through the healing process and start the voyage toward a better you.

As depression, anxiety, grief, and other mental health issues get bigger, our lives get smaller. They weigh us down, isolate us, and make even simple things seem difficult. Frustration, shame, and confusion from the constant struggle can add to the weight we are already carrying. Friends and loved ones may inadvertently make things worse by offering advice or trying to make us feel better. We put off seeking help because we feel guilty, embarrassed, or don’t want to burden people (especially when we are the "Strong" one who usually helps others). It can happen to anyone. The good news is that treatment works and therapy helps!

Let's get real…I know you noticed the name of my practice, so there’s no need to beat around shit. You’re clearly not here looking for a therapist that your g-ma would approve of. You’re here because you’re going through shit and you’re looking for someone to hear you, see you, and be real with you. Hell, maybe you realize that you’re having a hard time doing different shit even though you know it’s what you need – this is what I refer to as “getting in your own damn way.” Well, if all this sounds about, you’re in the right place.

To have healthy relationships, we must first have a healthy mindset. Have you ever felt like there was more to your life than what you are experiencing now? Are you tired of struggling with anger, depression, anxiety, or addiction? There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you (Mayou Angelou). I provide individual, family, and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents struggling with a broad range of issues, including mental health, grief/loss, trauma, and substance abuse. My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my more than ten years working as a therapist, it would be that life can be rough no matter who you are. And sometimes rough in ways you never thought it could be. What do YOU do when those rough times come? Not sure? Or have the ways you thought would fix things not worked? I work with individuals and couples feeling lost or unsure of what to do or where to turn when they have these rough times. I have been through times in life when I feel this way and love working with people to help find the best ways for them to deal with whatever rough patch, big or small, they may find themselves in.
