While vulnerable, healthy people seek therapy because not avoiding and recognizing you need support, is a sign of strength. I provide therapy to people coping with life changes, relationship stressors, loss, trauma, depression/anxiety, infertility, health issues, parenting, or job challenges (including the military). It's important to find a therapist with skill and training, however positive outcomes in therapy largely depend on the relationship you build.

Our understanding of health, and what it means to be "healthy," has changed over the years. We now have a better understanding of what a healthy lifestyle looks and feels like. Being "healthy" might look like less pain, better and more sleep, maintaining a healthy weight, less stress, and more social connections. The problem is, we struggle to make changes to improve our health. Even when we are motivated to make changes, we can become discouraged at the first sign of "failure." By looking closely at thoughts, behaviors, and emotions we can work together to set simple and realistic goals that will help you achieve a healthier life!

Some of us are isolated without much social support and or are experiencing strain in our relationships with family, friends, or colleagues.
