"Life without change is not living; To be uncomfortable means that change is right around the corner!" I believe these words wholeheartedly as every individual arrives at a crossroads that determine whether they move forward, backward or remain stagnant. I work alongside those who may be within a crossroad in life that has them questioning which direction to choose. In my work as a Therapist, my clinical training and experience encompasses depression, couples enrichment, grief/loss, separation/divorce, relationship issues, and other emotional/interpersonal disturbances. I specialize in trauma such as
sexual abuse
, domestic violence, and death/illness.

“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.” Overcoming takes time, possessing inner strength may have its hurdles, and transitioning into the very best version of oneself while living instead of just existing is sometimes a lifelong journey, but these things are all in your reach and can be done! In recognizing myself as an advocate for change, my hope is to lead with light while fostering an environment that is conducive to spiritual healing and growth.

We are living in unprecedented times. It seems that every day, we learn of some new crisis unfolding. Feeling anxious or depressed is a reasonable response to living in an uncertain world. For many of us, recent years have brought loss and trauma. It may feel like you will never heal. Learning to cope and adapt may feel overwhelming. You want to be your "old self again," but it feels impossible. You may have tried to heal yourself, only to realize you need help. You may hesitate to seek help for fear of being judged. You may feel that you are alone in your struggles, but I want you to know that you are not alone. There is hope.

Sometimes we struggle with life in ways that make us feel alone, unsafe, stressed or worried. Perhaps life has left you feeling discouraged, off balance or not much like yourself. Do you feel like you have been doing the best you can, even though it has been difficult? It's perfectly normal to feel frustrated or tired of being tired. At times it may even feel like no one understands. Maybe if you could just feel heard or understood, life could seem possible just knowing you did what you did because you only knew what you knew. Working together to gain more skills and tools to continue your journey is not that far. Let's talk!
