Making the decision to start therapy can be tough- I want you to know that it can be one of the best decisions you make in your life. Whether you’re simply frustrated with the lack of focus and direction you have or are struggling to have the kind of relationships you want in your life, having the guidance and direction of a skilled therapist can make all the difference. As we begin to work together, the focus will be to understand what you want and what is in your way. What I do is build trust and a working relationship with you so we can begin to make a realistic plan of action.
I work with people of all ages through issues including anxiety, marital tensions, job changes, and addiction issues. I have experience working with younger adults trying to navigate the sometimes overwhelming transitions into adult life. I believe in the importance of listening closely and helping you find and define your values- what is important to you.
I know that recovery from anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma is possible. I help clients regain hope when they feel things are at their worst, as well as help them create meaningful changes in their lives. I look forward to the chance to work with you. Give me a call and we can get started!
