My speciality varies from working with individuals, military/first responders, couples experiencing relationship issues, infidelity & sexual dysfunctions. C.S Lewis said, " You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." This is my mindset for my practice when working with clients. I believe there is strength in forgiveness, that tomorrow can be better today, & relationships are resilient. Discussing intimacy, communication challenges can be overwhelming, but I do my best to bring lightness & comfort to all issues from a non-judgmental perspective. Learn more at Esagetherapy.com

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, life as we know it, has changed. For some, these changes have been much larger and much more traumatic than others. Depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and suicide attempts are just a few of mental health concerns that are on the rise in our country. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, and fear in children and adults have become unfortunate byproducts of the pandemic. At times we may feel powerless or even hopeless. Engaging in therapy can give one the tools and skills needed to navigate this unprecedented time and help manage life’s stressors in a healthy, safe, and proactive manner.
