I can help decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety by working collaboratively with clients to improve quality of life, relationships, and improve overall functioning and outlook.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, depression, attention deficit, outbursts of anger, thoughts about the past (regret, remorse, traumatic experiences), thoughts about the future (fear, anxiety, catastrophizing 'what if' scenarios), insomnia, lack of purpose, past relationship experiences impacting present relationships, self-sabotage, and general sense of meaninglessness. The work I do is collaborative and the results are real.

Struggling with Anxiety, Depression, feelings of shame or inadequacy? Maybe you have difficulty connecting to others, creating healthy boundaries, or trusting after a relationship ended painfully. Does fear of failure keep you from trying something you've desired or from reaching your full potential. I've helped many clients experiencing these difficulties, get "unstuck", heal, and move forward with more peace, joy, confidence, and purpose. Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important ingredient in successful therapy and that each unique person engaging in the process is deserving of attuned connection.
