Life is a journey that we all go through, and it presents us with many obstacles to navigate. Sometimes these obstacles can present us with challenges that can lead us to feel depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, withdrawn, or even isolated. When we learn to create balance in our life, we begin to feel a sense of joy and happiness for the person we are meant to be. I would like to partner with you as you explore life’s challenges and concerns and help you in identifying feelings and thought patterns and assist you in developing effective coping and self-care strategies that will strengthen your everyday life.

I work with clients who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.

As your therapist, I will explore your concerns, assist you in identifying your personal strengths, and help you to develop effective coping strategies that will enhance your daily life.

**I am not accepting new patients at this time. I wish you well on your journey.** My approach to psychotherapy involves "walking with" you on your journey. The journey would include developing increased self awareness and symptom reduction, which would allow for a fuller experience in one's life. One may also experience increased self empathy throughout the journey. I emphasize the importance of each person's unique early and current experiences. Many individuals I have worked with have concerns involving: trauma, attachment, relationships, identity, life transitions, mood, anxiety, dissociative, personality, and reality.

I remember when I started looking for a counselor. I knew things were not right but I wondered were they so bad that I needed to go to a stranger for help.

Still, I held out a tiny shred of hope and found myself sitting on someones couch looking at my life.
