Every human being at times experiences sadness, anxiety, anger, shame, fear, hopelessness, guilt, uncertainty. But for some, their daily lives are significantly impacted. You may be struggling with your marriage, partnership, children, family, friends, employer, co-workers. Depression and anxiety may cause you to avoid doing the things that matter and/or to choose unhealthy ways of coping. Some struggle with anger issues that result in legal, relationship and/or employment problems. Others have experienced traumatic events as children and/or adults. While pain in life is inevitable, it does not have to take over our lives.

Healing starts when we can acknowledge our past/current hurts. As we work on releasing our past/present life challenges, it may seem as if it is easier to keep our pains bottled up inside. As your therapist, I will assist you with obtaining the necessary tools needed to overcome those life challenges. Although healing is not an easy journey, it’s worth it. We will work together in a safe, confidential, and judgment-free environment to share your truths and overcome whatever lemons life has thrown your way. Let’s make lemonade.
