Are you struggling with anxiety symptoms or depressive symptoms, including competing with your negative self-talk? Are you noticing that you are struggling to be vulnerable with those around you? As your therapist, we will explore the societal expectations and pressures that are suspending your growth; discover the parts of yourself that feel too vulnerable to say out loud to others; and recognize the stressors in your life and identify tools to manage them.

I have been doing outpatient therapy for the past ten years, working with adolescents and their families as well as with adults.
“I know what I need to do to feel better”, “How is talking about my problems going to do anything”,...these are just a couple of the reasons why people can be apprehensive about therapy. Let’s talk about what therapy can do for you instead. By working collaboratively we can work together to decrease anxiety and depression, increase self esteem, enhance insight and better understanding of self, as well as to identify patterns of behaviors and thinking just to name a few benefits. Therapy isn’t a magic wand, and you aren’t going to be happy every day, or never experience stress again.

I work with clients to create healthy, lifelong coping skills and release unwanted burdens from their lives.

In life, all of us can use help along the way. There are many reasons to start therapy but ultimately, we all want to feel better and live happier lives! At any point, we can all struggle with stress, anxiety, sadness or have a difficult time managing certain aspects of our lives. We can also feel stuck in patterns or behaviors that make it hard to live the life we want to live and it can feel overwhelming to figure out what to do next. Whether you are searching for yourself or your child, therapy can help.

Ever feel like life is not going how you expected it to? We often have expectations of how we should be feeling or what our life should be like, and our reality doesn’t always match up.
