I also believe that, for some, healing relationships that have suffered pain and betrayal is critical to long-term recovery.

The most important aspect of therapy is that you, the client, feel both comfortable & safe. I pride myself on providing an environment that fosters both safety & growth.

My therapeutic style is uniquely tailored to the needs of each client to help them achieve their goals. Although the therapeutic process varies for each client, my role remains the same and that is to guide, encourage, & support you while you are on your journey.

So many times I hear people say, "I'm just tired. There's never enough time, money..." Life does not have to be a constant tug of war with obligations from marriage, children, work and so many other things pulling from every direction. What's driving you to continue adding more to the overwhelming obligations you already have? Sometimes, we need a little help to understand unhealthy habits and to create balance. But asking for help can be difficult. Will you take this opportunity to reshape your life in a way that works better for you and your loved ones?

Striving to be excellent at all the things has become a lot to carry on your own and with all the "great things" going on in your life, it has become really difficult to admit how overwhelming it can be in your head.

Almost too much. You just want to make sense of it and turn down some of the noise in your head. Maybe find a way to not feel so heavy all the time.
