“I don’t feel heard,” or “I can’t seem to do anything right,” are common feelings expressed in couples’ therapy. Another client may come confused, “People are telling me I have anger issues.” And other folks feel overwhelmed and stressed, “My life is changing dramatically and I’m not sure what to do next.” As one who has had many life experiences, I may identify with many of the feelings you are experiencing. Whether it is your relationships, feelings of anxiety or depression, or struggles with the choice’s life has put in front of you.

In a world where daily stressors and anxiety can make us feel overwhelmed and unsure, we often feel lost or do not know where to start. Sometimes, one of the hardest decisions to make is to start therapy. That alone can be overwhelming, on top of what has already brought you to this decision. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and self-esteem issues? Are you looking for some relief from mental health concerns or guidance in personal growth?  Everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. Every chapter, even the difficult ones, should be met with understanding and an open mind.

Are you willing to invest time into your personal growth to improve your quality of life? Are you struggling with "the hamster on the wheel," and other symptoms of anxiety and depression? I believe we all need someone outside of our personal lives to provide an objective and confidential ear with feedback in order to discover our own solutions that reside within ourselves.

Whether you are experiencing changes in your life that feel overwhelming, are coping with a loss, experiencing challenging emotions that you are not quite sure how to manage, or are looking to grow and make positive changes in your life, therapy is the perfect place to start.

It is an honor and a privilege to partner with individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges in everyday life. The work I do with those individuals helps to bring forth the beauty, strength and power within each one of us. This shift allows an individual to overcome issues and begin to thrive. I am passionate about this work and hope that passion enhances the quality of the relationships built with everyone I serve.

Letting someone know you need help is brave. People enter therapy looking for solutions to problems, seeking healthier ways to manage stress, wanting to change behaviors, process unpleasant past events or learn to communicate with others more effectively. Having feelings is normal, but when our emotions become too big, too intense or even too scary to face alone; therapy can be a safe place to unpack what's underneath those feelings.

Are you experiencing depression and anxiety? Do you feel that the quality of your family and interpersonal relationships aren't what they're supposed to be? Are you unsatisfied with your career? Do you wonder who you are and what gives you meaning past your daily obligations? As a therapist with lived experience, I have a special awareness of how difficult these and other questions are to answer, which is the reason that our work together is tailored to your individual needs within a framework of CBT, DBT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Our work will consist of an affirming and safe space.

Feeling hopeless and anxious? Lost control of your life? Traumatic experiences, depression, and anxiety steal your focus, impede your goals, and create constant distress.

Living a productive and meaningful life is possible once you conquer the obstacles that have plagued you for so long. Therapy takes courage but you can find peace and tranquility. What’s holding you back from living the life you truly want?
