Do you ever forget how you got to work? Is life overwhelming, but you have no one to talk to? Do you hold it in, thinking it will go away? Some time in your life, you may be faced with the analogy of “your life vs. a bottle of soda.” There may be things shaken or flipped upside down in your life and you may want to explode. Knowing what happens to a bottle of soda & knowing people react differently, everyone’s version of “exploding” may come in various forms. As a therapist, I strive to find ways to turn your impairments into functionalities. Regarding the soda analogy, let’s “relieve pressure, open diligently, & consume slowly.”

When we lose our way we feel uncomfortable, no longer in control, and out of sorts. The goal of my practice is to help you regain clarity and balance in your life. I believe that having both allows for growth and success in the different areas of your life: work, school, personal and social relationships, parenting, sports, and networking. For nearly a decade I have been helping individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma or difficult family dynamics succeed in their daily activities and interactions so they can once again find joy in their lives. I am ready to partner with you to help you regain balance.
