Are you managing recent concerns or long term problems in your life? Are you struggling with understanding, managing, or accepting your own thoughts or feelings? Regardless of what bring us to therapy we are seeking to reduce our own suffering or the suffering of those we love. We may have been struggling so long we have become skeptical about our ability to change or our ability to tolerate our circumstances.

***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS *** My job as a therapist is to help when you feel overwhelmed, confused, or lost. This process frequently requires working through the impact of past experiences and/or thought patterns which keep you stuck. Therapy is a process of self-exploration and increasing self-awareness to realize the power you have to make changes in your life. My hope is that with our work together you find insight, confidence, and a more positive way of looking at your world.
