Life throws everyone curveballs, and sometimes you need extra support to navigate through these tough and challenging situations. Whether you are dealing with tough life transitions, relationship issues, or dealing with past or present trauma, there is always hope that better days are ahead.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious? Managing ADHD, anxiety, and depression can be exhausting. Do you want to thrive in your life, not just survive?

We will work together to set goals that build on your strengths and empower you to make the changes that get you where you want to be. Less worry, better focus, healthy relationships, more peace.

Deciding to begin counseling is one of the best and most important decisions you can make. Successful counseling begins with the therapeutic relationship between the counselor and the client. Trust is at the heart of being able to be vulnerable and honest. This is why I put significant effort into establishing rapport and creating a safe space, free of judgment, for you to feel comfortable discussing difficult issues. The goal is a harmonious relationship where you feel safe to address your feelings, ideas, worries, struggles, and dreams. Strong communication will allow us to move toward the changes you want.

Are depression, anxiety or adjusting to new life changes weighing you down? You do not need to go thru this alone. How you are feeling right now can be changed. Often, we are uncomfortable taking the first step to speak to someone about our personal issues. However once coming to therapy many people find it comforting having a safe place to speak their mind, with a therapist who is there to listen and guide them.
