Have you been struggling with the same problems, thoughts, or feelings for weeks, months, or even years and can't seem to get them under control? Are your intimate, social, and work relationships being affected by the reoccurring problems and thoughts? It's very frustrating when your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are not in line with your values and who you want to be. You know that if you could just learn to let go of the past and focus on the present, then your life and relationships will improve; but you just don't know how. Is there hope?
I'm an anxiety, relationship, and addiction specialist. As we work together you will start finding hope for a better future. More importantly you will start living the type of life that you've envisioned for yourself and your relationships for so long.
I work with clients and couples dealing with reoccurring problems of all kinds such as pornography, sex, eating disorders, self-harming, codependency, poor communication, anxiety, etc. I will be with you every step of the way through therapy as we work together to improve yourself, your relationships, and discover the better days that lie ahead.
