Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.

It's inevitable - couples will experience challenges in their relationship, and become overwhelmed by them. Like many of my clients, you may find you're emotionally distant, stuck in ongoing arguments, engaging in destructive language, hurt from acts of betrayal, or dealing with patterns of interactions that diminish love, security, and connection. The attempts to "fix it," or re-connect, are at times promising but don't last long. If you've found yourself in this place, struggling to find hope where it once existed, reaching out to a therapist can be intimidating because you're not sure if it will be worth it, or helpful.

Is it hard just to make it through each day? Like everything is a struggle, and you’re not sure how much longer you can keep pretending it’s all fine? You don’t have the lust for life that you used to, and everything feels a bit “blah”. You can't talk about it with your family or friends without worrying them or being dismissed. You're noticing these things are negatively impacting your life, relationships, or performance at work. You feel unhappy, angry, or disconnected to people in your life and the world around you. Maybe you know what changes you want to see, but you don't even know where to start. It all feels so daunting.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is key in order for growth to happen. Once mutual respect and trust are established, I work toward gaining a deeper understanding of the client, their needs, and what obstacles they’ve found themselves faced with. I offer a space of non-judgment, empathy, and support in which clients can feel safe to open up and share their authentic selves. Upon meeting, I'll work with the client to create a treatment plan and goals, knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. I most commonly work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and family issues.

Being a kid, teen, or young adult these days is pretty complicated, and parenting can certainly feel overwhelming at times. Sometimes, challenges seem to appear out of nowhere, and other times, things have felt hard for a long time. Either way, counseling can help by providing a safe, trusted space to seek solutions, growth, and healing.
