Every year, over 40 million American adults seek mental health care. Just as one may seek medical care for physical struggles, mental health treatment is waiting for those who experience mental or emotional hardships. Therapy can benefit a wide range of individuals, from those surrounded by depression and anxiety, past traumas, and life transitions, to those needing someone to talk to.

Constant worry can seem normal and protective when living with an anxiety disorder, but eventually it keeps us from something we want. It may be an experience, a relationship, a job - a goal that seems in reach (for about three seconds) until anxiety steps in and says "But what if...?" This is the tipping point for most people, when they decide to do what they want instead of what anxiety demands. Anxiety and OCD are divas, never completely satisfied and always demanding more. But it is possible to experience these demands without giving in, and to live your life with choices.

Do you want to improve your anxiety and relationships in order to improve your overall functioning? My ideal client would be someone who is ready to make changes and begin therapy.

My ideal client is ready to do the hard work of making real change in their life. Sometimes, people think change has to be big to start therapeutic services; it doesn’t. Sometimes, learning to breathe, decrease anxiety, and be more mindful of your strengths can become a great asset. Therapy doesn’t have to be forever; sometimes, you just need help getting through the now. I help individuals & families dealing with chronic illnesses and end of life. At times like those, crises often happen: medical conflict, spiritual conflict, familial conflict, financial concerns, housing and food insecurity.
