I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.

We don't get to choose how our story starts but we do get to choose how we continue to write it. Sometimes we face periods of life disconnected from meaningful relationships and swirling in past or present pain and hurt. We may struggle with symptoms of trauma resulting in depression anxiety and irritability. We may struggle with our body image and believe acceptance is found in a particular body size or number on the scale. We may face feeling unsafe in the world and deal with bouts of panic. At its core we all want to be known, loved, safe, and accepted. If this is not your story you can learn how to write it.

Every human being at times experiences sadness, anxiety, anger, shame, fear, hopelessness, guilt, uncertainty. But for some, their daily lives are significantly impacted. You may be struggling with your marriage, partnership, children, family, friends, employer, co-workers. Depression and anxiety may cause you to avoid doing the things that matter and/or to choose unhealthy ways of coping.
