Have you said these statements? "I woke up and I don't know the person I am sleeping with?' "We don't trust each other" or "she just won't get over what happen." "I feel like I am not good enough, I feel hopeless." I like working with individuals and couples facing difficulties with boundary issues, infidelity, emotional and physical abuse, as well as issues with anxiety. You need to feel heard, validated, and supported. I can help you identify triggers that cause significant distress and give you strategies to challenge negative beliefs that limit your ability to function in the relationship. This is the foundation of my work.

Do you want to be authentically you? Do you feel misunderstood, like you are constantly second guessing your decisions, pressure from others on how to ‘act,’ feel unheard, or like you are masking your feelings by putting on your familiar smile? Do you compare your life to those around you because ‘they’ seem to have it all together? Society paints a picture of the perfect person, family, grades, relationship, job, body, etc., Do any of the following phrases sound familiar, “You need to get over it,” “I’ve dealt with that, and I’m great,” “That is not something you need to be depressed about?” We've heard it all haven't we?

Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. We promise to be there for you every step of your journey.
