My clients come to see me seeking assistance for a wide variety of issues related to anxiety, depression, mental/physical illness, grief and loss, trauma, stress, and unexplained anger. I believe in exploring issues from a family perspective; where did you come from and how did you come to be who, and how, you are? When you struggle in your life, it can sometimes become too easy to focus solely on what is wrong, forgetting what is right. Working together, you can get back on the right path.

Often times we feel stressed, numb, irritable, sad, or overwhelmed; and we believe “that’s just life” or “it could be worse” so these are issues we just try to deal with. While all of these emotions are normal to endure at some point in our lives, you do not have to feel alone. A positive therapeutic experience is one of the most important factors to success in therapy because with the right connection and support, anyone can start to see change.

When we are struggling it can cause a major disruption in our lives. It can also change the way we view ourselves, making self-compassion and personal growth hard to achieve. Whether your struggles include navigating through parenthood, self-esteem issues, anxiety/depression, relationship conflicts, or other various concerns, I will join you in this struggle by lending a compassionate hand to help you meet your individual needs. I believe that it takes a great deal of bravery to seek treatment and it is always my number one priority to help you seek personal healing and growth to find what makes you your most authentic self.

My approach to therapy is collaborative. We may work with a variety of issues that include anxiety and depression, grief, end of life issues, chronic illness and pain, existential crises, men's issues, and relationship difficulties. Alongside therapy, my work has helped give me a perspective that addresses every stage of life and its challenges. We can approach such challenges together, ranging from young adulthood through those near the end of life. It's always an honor to accompany people on a journey of self-discovery and who have taken this first brave step toward healing. I would be honored to take it with you.

We view the world through a lens based on our experiences, circumstances, and expectations. Sometimes, this lens can become clouded or distorted by life’s many challenges. It is my belief that we have an innate ability to be resilient at times in which our lens may become scratched, foggy, or even cracked. I utilize a multi-faceted approach to therapy to take a look at ways in which you have navigated and are currently navigating your worldview. Together, we can work on finding, building, and establishing ways in which you find clarity and understanding as it relates to your holistic health.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, or just managing the daily grind? Are you finding it hard to manage your emotions, or do you just feel like you are lost? Maybe you feel exhausted at the end of a long day or are constantly feeling overwhelmed by life and it is hard to get started on the things you need to do. Maybe you are sick of living up to the standards of society or of someone else. Sometimes it seems just getting through the day is a triumph (and maybe it is).

Whether expected or unexpected, we all go through changes or transitions in life. Have you gone through a major life change recently? Even though you may be planning and excited for this transition, that doesn't mean stress and anxiety necessarily go away. Now let's add a pandemic to the mix! This past year is a perfect example of an unexpected change that highly impacted many areas of our life. I think it's safe to say we have all had moments of panic, fear, or overwhelming anxiety triggered by COVID-19. Do you find that you are still struggling with these feelings?
