Narcissistic abuse in a relationship diminishes your self esteem, self confidence & overall self worth.

In addition, I have vast experience working with adults & adolescents who have histories of anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, relationship/marital issues, divorce & life transitions and warriors/families of childhood cancer.

My ideal client has no idea that by reading this message, they are already taking the first few steps in their new journey. They may be unsure about what therapy is, how it can be beneficial or what they will gain but, they know they can’t keep doing the same thing. They know they are looking for something different, either in their life or the life of their child or family. They are welcoming to change in some shape or form. They are looking to gain new skills and open to the support to get them to where they need to go. They are looking for something new, even if they are scared to get there. And together, we will get there.

The body and the mind have a powerful connection. How you feel affects how you think. Constant worrying can lead to headaches, high blood pressure, or other serious problems, while health problems can lead to stress, depression, and anxiety. Together we can combat these problems. From my therapy sessions, I provide people with a positive outlook on life in order to better handle mental health problems. I also provide stress-management techniques for individuals so they can understand the root of their problems and develop plans for life-long happiness.

You know that feeling of disconnection between your head and your heart? When you're struggling and know that the feedback you're getting from trusted loved ones is logical, but for some reason it just isn't making you feel better? If you could just "think" or "do" your way out of pain, you probably wouldn't be here. Emotions always show up for good reason - even when they don't seem to fit. God created the spectrum of emotions to be felt, seen, heard, and understood. When we don't have a safe place to explore them, they get ignored, buried, stuck, and confusing, and they can no longer do their job. This creates disconnection.

Is shame or fear of vulnerability getting in the way of connection or sex? Are you and your partner struggling to be on the same page emotionally or sexually? Despite being hardwired for connection, self-doubt, anxiety, depression, and other everyday obstacles tend to get in the way. Struggles related to sexual desire, performance, or physical functioning are so often burdened by shame or embarrassment. As a sex and relationship therapist, I work with clients to develop greater comfort around these topics. While my practice is inclusive of all people, I aim to provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ clients.
