At times, challenges in life seem to be obstacles to our fulfillment and happiness, though in reality these obstacles present opportunities – opportunities to reflect, change and grow. These changes can make us more resilient and make our lives more manageable and meaningful. During these troubled times we often believe that nothing can help. We see our situation less clearly due to our distress and are unaware of our options. But with the guidance of a trained therapist we can discover the gift of working on ourselves. My experience has proven time and again that therapy can be a life changer.

We all face times when we know we want something different for ourselves, but we don’t exactly know what. We know that the world is changing, that we might need to change too, or maybe even learn how to tolerate uncomfortable feelings that change can bring. Maybe there are parts of your life that feel unmanageable or downright difficult. Change can feel overwhelming, and at the same time we can experience new and exciting parts of life as we go through these transitions and challenges.

There comes a time when we realize that friends and family can't be our only outlet. Sometimes they rush to "fix us" or don't fully understand. Some of us don't have any support at all. We ultimately find that what we need is a neutral person with whom we can unload our burdens, free from judgement and critique. We need strategies to help us cope with difficult feelings and heal from the past. We find that once we begin this important work, we've created a path toward self acceptance, balance and empowerment.

I seek to work with clients who have experiences with trauma and abuse, having seen firsthand how devastating the untreated symptoms of trauma can be on a person's functioning with family, in the workplace and within communities. These symptoms include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, PTSD and can often lead to disabling substance use disorders among other issues. These clients seek to understand why they cannot manage their emotions and have often normalized their abusive experiences, so they do not see why they are struggling to function as easily as they perceive others to be doing.
