I have helped people overcome struggles with: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Divorce recovery, Grief, Life transition issues, Post-traumatic stress, Relationship issues, and Self-esteem.
Seeking counseling is a courageous first step to confront pain and distress in your life with the intention of bringing healing, resolution and growth. If you are dealing with difficulties in you life and/or you aspire to emotionally grow I would like to help. I will provide a caring, safe, and comfortable environment where you can feel heard and understood. Together you and I will identify your needs as well as your strengths and work toward reaching your personal goals. These goals begin with understanding your unique perspective and then working to untangle the behaviors, emotions or thoughts that bring distress, disharmony, or pain.

I believe the relationship is central to a positive therapeutic experience.
Experiences of grief and loss occur throughout the life span.The response to these experiences is unique and personal. I believe everyone has a story which is important to tell. As a therapist I work to create a trusting environment in which to tell that story. It is in the understanding of the story one can discover solutions to problems, acceptance of the past and hope for the future.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
