Are you having difficulty managing stress, relating to others, maintaining healthy relationships and/or managing and expressing emotions? Likewise, are you finding it nearly impossible to trust or become vulnerable with others or finding it difficult to live in the present moment due to still being affected by past distressing experiences (ex. childhood neglect/abuse, lack of emotional nurturing, bullying during school years)? If so, help is just a phone call and/or email away.

Are you ready to be more vulnerable but aren’t sure where to start? Have you found yourself struggling to share honestly with those around you? Or maybe you’ve tried sharing more of yourself with others, but you aren’t sure where you belong or if others will accept you? Our families can have a big impact on how we show up in our adult relationships. Cultural messages often impact how safe we feel to be fully ourselves. Shame and guilt can hold us back from experiencing intimacy and connection with ourselves and others. Together we will help you heal from any past wounds so you can feel more aligned in the present.

Together, we can explore the deeper issues that have impacted your sense of stability.

Making the decision to seek support can be a difficult task and shows courage. Opening up and sharing your private thoughts, emotions, fears, and experiences with a therapist can be frightening. However within a trusting, confidential, and healthy therapeutic relationship it can also be rewarding and a great benefit. I make it a point to never take for granted the gift clients give in revealing their personal history in the context of therapy. I endeavor to assist you in gaining insight, use new approaches to aid in making positive adjustments in your interpersonal, family, social, and work life.
