Sometimes we need to understand what brought us to this point in life. Many individuals experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstance, others experience fear and hopelessness. Whether it's feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or feeling stuck and defeated because you haven't reached a life goal -- having someone to help guide you through those issues may be what you need. Therapy is an opportunity to talk with someone trained to listen in a confidential, safe space by providing a non-judgmental and supportive environment to help you heal and grow.

You feel physically, mentally, and emotionally drained! You are consumed by thoughts and feel stuck. You push your own needs to the side and try to cope but find yourself feeling even worse.

You’ve found ways to just get by, but never feel genuinely balanced, and find yourself wondering if this is really as good as life gets. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be this way. We can work together to create lasting change.

Or maybe you are dealing with emotional baggage that just won't go away.
