If you are struggling right now, working together with a trained, caring, an objective person can be very helpful. You may not be sure how to choose a therapist you can work with and begin the process of feeling better. That makes sense because it is difficult to open up to a stranger about the challenges in life. You may have tried therapy before, and it did not help, or you did not "click" with the therapist you had chosen. If this sounds familiar to you, you are not alone.

Do you feel sad, anxious, depressed or lonely? Are you struggling to manage the stressors of daily life? One of the bravest things you can do is to take the time to heal and to move toward your goals. Life can be very difficult. It takes time to truly understand your own story and the impact that it has on us emotionally. Although anxiety, depression, and trauma can often make us feel numb or stuck, you do not have to stay that way.

Currently not taking new clients. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, burn out, stress, or loneliness? Unfortunately, this is quite common for many people in today's world. Some feel as if they are drifting through life, without a deeper sense of meaning, or purpose. Sometimes, we numb the pain; other times, we just accept it and don't realize how to manage it. It is also common for people to struggle with having deeper relationships, whether with family, friends or romantic. If you would like to identify and explore the roots of these, or other issues, you have come to the right place.

The beautiful anomaly of therapy is it is something that everyone can use yet what one needs and finds beneficial is different for everyone. As a provider, I utilize a person-centered approach because I believe counseling should be individualized. The working relationship between client and therapist is something that can be transformative both inside and outside of the office.

It isn't uncommon to find ourselves overwhelmed by the stresses of daily life. Work, relationships and loss can leave us feeling stuck. Thoughts about the past and worry about the future can start to feel all consuming and emotions like anxiety, shame, anger, and guilt can take hold and pervade our life. We are uncertain how to move forward, but we know we need to make a change. It takes courage to begin a process of individual growth and I honor that by providing a space that is compassionate, honest and non-judgmental.
