Coming to a realization about the way you have managed life has not served you to your highest benefit. Now you're at a juncture where you are ready to change the deep-rooted beliefs that has stunted your personal growth. You are feeling there is something more to your life or at least hoping there is something more, but your old thinking patterns, behaviors and feelings are blocking your desired outcome. You are ready to no longer envision your potential but yearn to take the proper steps towards it but unclear how. It is time to do something different to receive something different. It is your time to evolve.

I have worked in private practice since 1995. In that time, I have come to appreciate the collaboration and interplay between my clients and myself. I encourage people to pursue adaptations of their ideas, life choices and relationships as a way of taking charge of their own lives. Usually it takes many small shifts and multiple steps to lead to a beneficial outcome. It's not easy but therapy can be rewarding and life altering with the development of insight and the use of extra support to move forward.

You are sad, isolated, & anxious but you're too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone about it. You feel constant guilt for opportunities missed. You're confused because your life looks good on paper. You force a smile but inside feel despair, worry, and don't know how to cope. You can't find peace because your thoughts are racing. You get angry at situations that don't make any sense. At times, you are stressed out and can't find the energy to get out of bed. You focus on what you did wrong in the past. You have lost confidence in yourself. Your routine feels pointless; things that used to bring you joy are no longer enjoyable.

Hi, I work with couples as well as adults one-on-one who are struggling in their relationships, marriages and personal lives. We often uncover how early life led to current stresses, learn coping strategies, get clarity on big decisions, or simply sit together through difficult emotions as they pass through the alchemy of compassionate presence. I know it can be hard to find the right therapist. Feel free to check out my website or send me an email to see if we might be a good fit.
