Are you feeling held back by sadness, worry, or lack of fulfillment in life? These are normal obstacles that we all face in life; therapy can help you tackle them.

**Accepting NEW CLIENTS for IN-OFFICE and TELETHERAPY** I meet the child where s/he is at, establish foundational rapport, and work together to find sustainable and practical solutions. I started my practice, with the belief that we can plant the seed for a healthy mindset. It is never too late OR TOO EARLY to seek professional treatment for your child. If you have an inkling that your child may be struggling with behaviors, big feelings, coping, adjustment, etc., or lost his/her spunk, I encourage you to trust your instincts and reach out. I hope to journey with you in this process!

It is hard enough to lose your childhood; it is unacceptable to lose your adulthood, too. - Judith Herman. Pain can be overwhelming when we face it alone. As a practitioner, I strive to create a safe space for you to share your struggles and offer support through evidence-based techniques. Together, we will explore painful patterns, heal your experiences, and look toward a more alive future.

Have you ever told a "funny" childhood story and no one laughed? Do you wake-up angry or irritable and you don't know why? Or find yourself in the same relationships, job environments, and situations over and over again despite your best efforts to do something different? As a survivor myself, when trauma happens, surviving becomes essential. But what starts as a way to protect ourselves turns into a way of life. We find ourselves, operating on autopilot, "just getting by" in our spiritual lives, at our jobs, in our finances, and with our loved ones.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." My goal in therapy is to be a guide for each individual as they become a person they honestly admire and respect. Clients need to be ready to explore with honesty and courage the patterns of behavior and relationships that leave them unhappy and repeating mistakes. Exploring the past, we look for beliefs and historical factors that create vulnerability for engaging in negative behaviors, and discover untapped strengths and potentials. Assessing the present, we find the obstacles, challenges, and opportunities that fill your days, so that you can develop patterns of greater enjoyment and personal satisfaction. Dreaming of the future, we develop and move toward realistic goals so that you are not looking back over a life of "I wish I would have". While maintaining a positive tone and outlook, I believe therapy is less about helping you feel good and more about helping you be good so you feel good. Sessions focus on understanding and altering less helpful, protective patterns of interaction and behavior and actively developing patterns that create excitement and greater intrinsic personal satisfaction.
