Seeking therapy can be frustrating, overwhelming and scary. You hope to find someone who understands what you're going through, what you've been through or what you're about to face. Life can be difficult and complicated. Sometimes we feel alone and need someone to talk to or we just want someone who is not in our circle. Someone who won't judge. Someone who will take the time to listen and give a different perspective. We all have different ways of approaching problems, managing them and getting the outcomes we desire. Therapy is about finding what works best for you and working together towards it.

Many people have started to recognize that the things they're struggling with day-to-day are directly connected to the things that have happened in their past; they're tired of having band-aid solutions, and want instead to try to actually heal the wound. Most of the people I work with have experienced complex trauma and may have previously been diagnosed with mood disorders or personality disorders. The majority of these people have decided that they can no longer work toward their future without acknowledging and healing from the impact of their past.

Life takes us on many unexpected twists and turns. No matter how hard working, tough or intelligent we are - none of us can get it right all of the time. Things have often been building up for a while, perhaps as early as our childhood. When we finally do fail, it hurts. We are shocked and caught unaware. We judge ourselves harshly and feel we are less than what we should be. This is when we need help in getting through these life transitions. Counseling can give us a fresh perspective. It helps us look at each crisis as an opportunity, to find even better directions for ourselves and for our loved ones.

Many people have started to recognize that the things they're struggling with are directly connected to what happened in their past. They feel like they are often bouncing back and forth between two extremes and aren’t sure how to find balance. They are searching for a way to heal the root cause instead of just managing the symptoms. Most of the people I work with have experienced complex trauma. Many of these people have decided that in order to work toward their future goals, they need to acknowledge and heal from the impact of their past.

I can help create goals, work through some issues, or discover why you have a behavior pattern. I specialize in couples therapy, those tough times during a divorce, or rebuilding your life after a divorce.

We all face changes in our daily lives, it just depends on where those challenges come from and how you handle them. Sometimes family, friends or other areas cause one to struggle and seek guidance.

I understand the importance of setting reasonable expectations and helping the family to reach success as quickly as possible. I am a skilled therapist, with over ten years of experience, offering a safe place to explore challenges and make potential life changes.
