Could you benefit from some extra support so you can get back on track to focus on things that are important, so that you spend less time and energy dealing with STRESS? Do you need a place to process things going on with you without the bias that can occur when talking to friends and family? The therapeutic setting can give you the opportunity to learn and grow. With these paradigm shifts, or new ways of approaching situations, individuals can often experience greater life satisfaction. I would enjoy the opportunity to accompany you on this journey.

Being our most resilient, healthy self is a process of acceptance and skill building. It is particularly hard when anger, sadness, and worry get in the way of connecting with others, advancing professionally, or maintaining health. It is important to have a safe place to process and solve life transitions without judgment. I utilize evidenced based psychotherapy and assessment to restore value based cognitions, mindfulness and healthy behaviors. Specialized treatment planning is the first stage of the process. Adults, adolescents, couples, and specialized assessment cases (ages 7 to 80+) are encouraged to schedule a consultation appointment.
