Adoptees are often a silent population due to challenges surrounding the issue of trust. Needs for this population may include difficulties connecting with others, difficulty with self esteem & making decisions to appease others rather than for themselves. Goals are often directly linked to these issues. How do I know? I have both lived experiences as a former foster child & adoptee who then used those experiences to launch me into the field of psychotherapy where I accrued over 20 years of experience. Learning to trust & knowing who we are as adoptees is an important part of the healing work we will do together.

I work with individuals who have a sense that they are ready for change and would like a partner on that journey. Some know what that change is. Some feel pulled in a yet-to-be-defined direction.

Want to develop a personal practice for enhanced well-being. Want a clearer sense of their life’s purpose and/or how to live in alignment with that purpose.

Choosing to seek treatment for sex addiction is a courageous step towards healing and personal growth. My role as a sex addiction treatment specialist is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where clients can embark on their journey of recovery.

I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing social anxiety, isolation, and depression. At the best of times, rural areas can be challenging places to develop a consistent, meaningful balance between alone time and social engagement. For people who consider themselves introverts, and especially for those suffering from social anxiety, this task may feel nearly insurmountable. As anxiety-provoking as the idea of starting therapy can be, bringing another person into your experience can give your mind a break, and possibly help you discern a next step towards experiencing more freedom and engagement in your life.

I provide a safe, confidential space for our work together. Each person seeks a therapist for their own personal reasons. Whether you feel stuck at an impasse, want more satisfying relationships, or seek freedom from difficult patterns- no matter your struggle, having a place to think and talk about what is bothering you may help. The outcome of therapy is unpredictable, though it often results in a greater sense of well-being and eases internal conflict. Together we can seek to understand what is going on and explore possibilities not previously considered.

I believe you already have the answer to your problem. If you’re unaware of that answer, my job is to help you uncover it. If you’re conscious of it, my job is to help you accept it.
