Do you want to build a happier, healthier you? Does anxiety, depression, negative body image, stress, or relationship issues show up too often in your life? Do you get down on yourself and feel unsure of how to make changes in your life? These feelings and problems can be symptoms of deeper wounds that most of the time are not obvious to us. Working together in therapy, we can explore what's underneath to help you better understand yourself, your feelings, patterns and behaviors. You have the answers and strength within yourself to heal from pain and self-doubt, and change unhelpful habits or relationships that don't serve you.
I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, eating disorders and negative body image, LGBTQ issues and gender transitioning/affirmation, trauma, and grief. I work with adults, couples, teens, and parents. As a group, Empower and Thrive Counseling offers comprehensive mental health care from dedicated professionals.
Making the decision to begin therapy can be a difficult but life-changing one. As with many new beginnings, there may be fear, reluctance, doubt, enthusiasm, and hope all wrapped up together. Whether you've been to counseling in the past or are completely new to it, this can be a unique and fresh beginning. Start now with a free consultation!
