Are you feeling like something is missing in your life? Do you wish you could have your life back the way it used to be? Or maybe it has never been what you would like it to be. It could be related to relationships, work, family, or even nothing that you can identify at all. Ignoring the problem is not the answer even though it seems easier. You may want a "quick fix" but there is no replacement for really working through the issues in our lives and getting to a better place. Basically...how you got where you are and where to go from here. It is a big step. That's the kind of "fix" that lasts a lifetime.

I treat adults with relationship issues that can include couple/marital concerns, coparenting concerns, individual issues with coworkers, friends, and family. I work well with clients experiencing anxiety and depression. I also treat adolescents individually, and with their parents, who are having difficulty with the adjustment to the teen years or young adulthood; have diagnosed depression or anxiety; relationship problems with friends, peers, or romantic partners. Ideally these clients are interested in receiving help and are motivated to make changes.

Therapy is beneficial for sudden changes, such as death of a loved one, divorce, stress management, and work transitions.

In my nearly 10 years of clinical experience, I have been able to provide individuals and couples with support in understanding their experiences, emotions, and relationships. Every person who walks through my door deserves a compassionate, welcoming space to build trust. In that space, we can discover wants, needs, and values. To create and build safety within the discomfort of exploring who you are, without judgement, from yourself or anyone else. In doing so, you can better understand the person you want to become, or to better understand the true depth of what you have to offer just as you are now.

Whether you're struggling with a difficult situation, or would like to invest in improving a relationship, taking the first steps to find a counselor can be daunting.
