Let's be honest: life is hard sometimes. Maybe you find yourself 'stuck' in ineffective patterns, relationships that fail to meet your needs, or feel overwhelmed by the demands that life places on you. Maybe you're struggling with things that happened in the past, or are worried about the future. Maybe you feel like your emotions are getting the best of you, or maybe you feel numbed out and disengaged from the world. Life can provide all kinds of stressors and challenges, and therapy can be a wonderful tool to help navigate through tough times. If you're ready for growth and change, I'm here for you!

You believe the only person you can trust and depend on is you. You desire to be in deeper relationships but back away when people get too close. You long to have a social life, yet feel on guard and more focused on the numerous thoughts circling through your mind then the conversation with loved ones. Criticism and self-blame become all too common. Feeling trapped, fighting an internal battle of what to do, it’s almost easier to stay to yourself. Ultimately, you make it through the day but aren’t truly living.

Are you and your partner feeling “like roommates”? Are you fighting all the time? Never fighting, but not really talking either? Talking, but getting no where? Or just feeling disconnected from one another? I can help! Whether you’re dealing with communication problems, desire concerns, infidelity, infertility, feeling unappreciated or just going through the motions; I’ve helped individuals and couples just like you. You are not alone! Give me a call if you’re tired of the way it’s been and you’re motivated to have a healthier relationship, with yourself and/or your partner, as we head into 2023.
