At one point or another every person faces difficulties in their life, especially in today’s world. With over 60,000 thoughts a day, most of which are negative, it is hard to combat the emotional distress that builds over time. My specialty is helping you build tools that can assist you in working through those difficulties on an individual level or within a dynamic relationship. I offer a compassionate, supportive and unbiased environment to explore life’s difficulties.

Are you a human? Great! You can benefit from therapy. Only semi-joking. On a real note, if you are anxious, depressed, stressed, unable to sleep at night, scared, mentally absent, have low self-esteem, experience flashbacks, nightmares/terrors, misuse substances or have a loved one that missuses substances, have difficulty focusing and staying on task and/or have a child that has ADHD, experience anger outbursts and/or abrupt mood changes, carry around childhood wounds from which you have never healed, have difficulty adjusting from a life-changing event, or are riding out the waves of grief, then you are a good fit for therapy.

Anxiety and depression can be overwhelming and interfere with reaching your highest potential in all areas of your life. It’s incredibly uncomfortable to feel your heart and mind race or to have shortness of breath. You worry about when a panic attack will happen again and the worry makes matters even worse. You just want to slow your mind down and quit thinking. Your relationships and work performance may be suffering as you lie in bed dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. You've tried everything to control your thoughts and feelings but can't.

It is hard to focus on the current moment. It is a challenge to stay attached and connected to your body. There are so many things going on, and all you can experience are images, smells, and feelings of times when you were forced to survive. You may think, "How do I let go" "How do I find connection" There may be times that you lose hours or days, and come to ask yourself, "How did I get here" and "How do I talk about what's going on without feeling like a burden?" There may be times when you feel you cannot connect to others as your life experiences feel too big. You may feel shame in your experiences, and others may not relate to

Do you ever feel like you are putting on a happy face to get through the day, only to come home, emotionally drained, and just tired of faking it? Are you ready to take the next step but have spent so long feeling like a burden that speaking about your problems seems almost impossible? Starting therapy can be frightening and, for a lot of us, talking about our feelings doesn’t come easy. That's ok. (Seriously!) I want you to know that it's normal to feel nervous at first and that it is worth it to get your life back. Together, we will work towards helping you live a better life - however that may be defined for you.

Things have gotten a little out of hand lately. You’ve started to have problems with your family or friends. People are mentioning they’re concerned about your drug or alcohol use. And if you’re really honest, you’re getting a little worried too. We work together to determine what your goals are. If your goal is to decrease your alcohol use from 6 glasses of wine a day to 5 glasses of wine a day, that’s where I’ll help you get. If you want to stop using or drinking completely, we can do that too. If you have no idea, we can talk that out.

Sometimes, life can be challenging, confusing, and even paralyzing, but it does not need to stay that way. I know that it can be difficult to seek help, especially if you have never done it before. Maybe you have spoken with a friend about the things that have been going on, but you still feel the same. This is where I come in. My goal is not to pull or push you to change, instead, it is to walk alongside, providing you with guidance and empathy. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, with low mood, and overall just exhausted, I'm here to help. It doesn't have to stay this way, and it can get better!
