Your experiences, thoughts, and struggles are unique to you and so are your gifts, joys, and perspectives. Developing awareness around how your circumstances influence who you are helps you gain clarity and allows you to write future chapters of your life with intention. Counseling is a space to be seen without judgment and safely explore what it might look like to live into a future of intentionality and purpose. Pursuing your full, whole self is a gift you give not only to yourself but to those around you, and counseling is a great place to explore what that might look like.

As a therapist, I value creating a safe and non-judgmental space to learn with individuals about their authentic experiences. In efforts to help clients live a life most fulfilling to them, I believe that compassionately discovering who you are, connecting to emotions, and navigating the complexities of life is something you don’t have to do alone.

The modern world spins so rapidly, and with such intensity, many individuals search for a therapeutic relationship that cultivates a distinctive space for authentic self-reflection. After all, reflecting in isolation is limiting since the only voice we hear is our own, which is often critical. Some individuals come to therapy to reconnect with their nature, others to process a paradoxical state of healing sickness. Some come to rust away their armor, others to unify in the curative presence of relational synchronicity. Ultimately, one comes to therapy by virtue of being a genuine expression of hope, resilience, and self-empowerment.

Has your anxiety, trauma, the news or nightmares recently triggered your PTSD?Have you ever been curious about a cutting-edge therapy concept but reluctant to give it a try? Sitting in a room full of nurses, doctor’s and therapist in 1996, I was skeptical about this new EMDR therapy. It was easy to scoff at the idea that someone could wave their fingers in front of my eyes and erase childhood memories of 10 painful months in a body cast. My 32 years as a therapist has enabled me to help my clients’ healing. I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, PTSD, generational trauma and the problems encountered by the LGBT Community.

Life brings about many challenges, but that does not mean we need to suffer while we endure them. For those who feel they have failed therapy in the past, you "can't do this anymore", or just that your current set of skills are not enough to get you through, I hear you. Struggling with these intense emotions can be unbearable. I believe you are doing your best in the situation you are in, and still want to do better.
