I recognize the importance of being able to share your thoughts, feelings, & emotions without being judged. I’m a firm believer in what a person thinks, affects the way they feel, which ultimately affects the way they act. So my goal is to work with my clients to help them become the best version of themselves at their own pace.

Get busy living or... A stark choice laid bare by Andy Dufresne from The Shawshank Redemption. But what does it mean to live? Living is more than mere existence. It’s about experiencing joy, feeling connected, and finding purpose. It’s about overcoming challenges, embracing growth, and building resilience. Therapy is a catalyst for this transformation. It's a space where you can explore the depths of your being, understand your patterns, and develop tools to overcome obstacles. As a therapist with lived addiction and mental health recovery, I offer a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to heal and reclaim your life.

Trauma and difficult life experiences can shatter your world. You might feel overwhelmed by the past. You may question your judgment, your self-worth, and even your sanity. You may blame yourself for what happened or believe you are "dirty" or "damaged goods." Relationships feel dangerous, and intimacy difficult. And on top of that, you may struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Finally, you found the courage to rediscover your voice and self-worth. You want to find someone who truly understands the depth of your pain and can help you reclaim your life.

Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feeling abused, neglected, or misunderstood, having a regular time and space to talk about these issues in a safe and confidential space is essential to working through them. Those who commit to this process discover that, over time, their suffering is more manageable than they thought, and that living a more fulfilling life is well within their grasp.

Do you love someone that’s controlling, someone that exhibits narcissistic behaviors? It’s not easy being in a relationship that causes constant anxiety and depression, at times trauma and even PTSD. Quite simply, the sacrifices we’re willing to make can be substantial. And mostly, those sacrifices are worth it. But at times, the demands of our relationships can go too far. Our sense of purpose can be destroyed and the passion we once felt for things disappears. If that's you, take a deep breath; I know what you’re going through. I also know there’s a path for you to find your well-being and happiness again.
