When others ask how you're doing, do you reply with a simple “fine” or “I can’t complain,” when in fact you are actually not fine as you have been going through some shit? Whether you're experiencing life changes such as relationship trouble, depression, anxiety, struggling to make friends, finding motivation, or discovering what makes you happy, it can really blow when you feel alone in that. These experiences begin to impact how you start to think and talk to yourself and suddenly, without any warning, you're drowning in a vicious cycle and just want to scream for help! Maybe you feel more alone than ever. Overwhelmed, drained.

No matter what you might be experiencing, from relationship trouble, depression, anxiety, finding motivation, navigating new experiences, it's hard out there in the world and adulting is not all it's cracked up to be. These experiences begin to impact how you start to think and talk to yourself and suddenly, without any warning, you're drowning in this vicious cycle and just want to scream for help. Maybe you feel more alone than ever. You don't have to be.

"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." (C.G. Jung) - - Suffering is an inescapable aspect of life...an aspect that always carries potential for personal growth and meaning. The challenge is to pause long enough to reflect; to face what life has put before us, which we can no longer ignore. Psychotherapy is ultimately about having a safe place for an inner journey to meaning; a journey accompanied by someone familiar with the path and the process. Whether it's normal life transitions or a major life disruption, the struggle contains an opportunity.

Are you ready to start experiencing life rather than just surviving day to day? Maybe symptoms like high anxiety or depression get in your way. It’s hard to thrive when you’re constantly worried about the past or overwhelmed by the present. I’ve seen so many gifted people unable to embrace their full potential. No matter what you’re going through you’re not defined by your diagnosis. With the right support you can overcome the obstacles that keep you from living a joyful and meaningful life. My job is to help you heal and build the confidence to do just that.

What if your anxiety or depression didn’t stand in your way from accomplishing what you wanted anymore? What if your stress was more manageable and you were in more control over what kind of thoughts stuck around in your mind? What if you understood more about yourself and who you are? What if you were able to move beyond your trauma and no longer let it define you? What if you and your partner were able to regain some of that excitement you had when you first met? If you would like to know the answers to any of those questions, I would love to hear from you.

Addiction is an insidious disease, one that takes over a person's life like a toxic friend, leading one to believe relief will be at the next turn, only to find misery and heartache. It controls a person's thought-life, holds the soul hostage, destroys the ability to feel simple emotions, and obliterates families. It can be difficult to reach out due to the shame that has permeated one's beliefs about themselves, and finding someone who understands the depth of this pain and shame can be daunting. But there is HOPE.
