Life is rough, but it is also wonderful. I believe in therapy as a means to help you increase your confidence in accessing the tools you need to get through life's trials. Utilizing an attachment lens, we'll work together to address current, past, and generational traumas as we uncover the roots of problematic symptoms and provide lasting relief. My favorite quote is from George Bernard Shaw- "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." I believe the therapeutic process is a means to empower you to create the life of your dreams.

My therapy style focuses on my belief that you are competent and capable. I believe you are more aware of what needs to happen for change to occur, than the you may realize. At times, people become stuck in unproductive ways of doing things and have trouble seeing other options. I also feel that people sometimes continually hear that they are not capable or create a negative story about the situation. It than makes it difficult to view their lives from another perspective. Because of these beliefs, one of my goals is to help clients see themselves as competent and capable of dealing with problems that occur in their lives.

I help people who are struggling with anxiety or depression and are hard on themselves. They feel a ton of pressure to do everything well and never let others down, and sometimes that pressure feels crushing. As a result, they feel either “amped up” and “stressed out” (anxious) or “exhausted” and “defeated” (depressed). Maybe a little bit of both!

Your Anxiety is a car on a racetrack of thoughts where the only way off is a brief pit stop for repairs. But that only delays reentry to the same circular pattern. Your mind turns familiar scenarios, images, and disasters over and over again, plunging you into stomach-clenching agony. Stress from work, family, and other relationships only make it worse. The worry and fear get so bad sometimes that they boil over into panic. The shame of losing control causes the cycle to start all over again. So, you become avoidant of the people and places that seem to trigger these difficult feelings.

Mary Oliver says, "Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things." I believe your life is inherently valuable. Your story has meaning. No matter where you're at or what you've experienced, hope still beckons. Not with a guarantee of certainty, but with a promise of fullness, healing, and belonging. My hope as a licensed therapist is to meet with those in the midst of pain and uncertainty as they pursue growth and a greater sense of connection and authenticity.

You said you would never stay with someone who cheated. You can’t believe he did this. It's like a nightmare. You are considering divorce but you want to believe him and deep down you want to get through this if it’s possible. You thought you knew him. Could it be possible he loves you like he says he does when he hurt you like this? Did he even consider you? It’s embarrassing to bring this up to anyone. You wonder if people will judge you if you stay and will they ever be able to see him in the same light if you tell people and are able to work it out? You have already talked for hours and don't know how you can get through this.

Relationships are incredibly powerful forces in our lives. They can be the source of our deepest joy and our deepest pain. But healthy relationships do not always come easily. Despite our best intentions, we inevitably experience tension, confusion, and conflict at various points along the way. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, it is my privilege to work with couples, individuals, children, and families as they navigate these challenging seasons of life.
