Don't say it...You are exhausted, right? There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything you had intended to do done. On the good days you are walking through a fog and on the not so good ones you call out and binge watch something on tv. Next morning the alarm and you try again. Is this you? My ideal client is someone who wants to fire me. Nothing makes me happier than a check in call from a past client who just wants to check in while things are great, or to work through a bump in the road. It's my goal to get people beyond their current hurdles and back to living their best life.

Perfectionism, anxiety, and trauma can make you feel like you are never enough - not smart enough, capable enough, strong enough, safe enough, loveable enough… the list goes on. This makes your everyday life feel confusing, your spirit heavier, and your future bleaker. You know something has to change.

Psychologist Carl Rogers said, “In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?” My clinical approach is to provide a therapeutic connection that helps clients acknowledge, bear, and put into perspective all the struggles, messiness, small delights, bliss and everything in between that we experience as part of the human condition. Therapy is an opportunity to delve into that quarrel with the self.

In my experience, the body/mind has a natural tendency toward health and wholeness.
