Relationships are hard work. Navigating what you want from life while considering what your partner/partners may wish to do can be daunting. Having questions about your relationship? How about your sex life? Has the excitement of your relationship and sex life turned into a mundane list of chores to cross off? Wait ... what about passion!? Or Intimacy!? Or heaven forbid you might ask, "What if I want to try that new thing ...?" You are far from being alone with these thoughts. Most people ask these questions when they are in a relationship with others. That's why I am here: to help answer these questions in a supportive space.

Maybe you've been here before, clicked out of the tab, only to come back later. It is daunting scrolling through the pictures and trying to find the right face. You know...the one with whom you can share your story. The story lurking back in the corner of your mind that you might not feel ready to face. We all have a story to tell. Getting to know our own stories can be scary, terrifying even. It can be painful. However, finding the right person to help you learn about yourself is a task totally worth hanging in there—for a few more clicks, some e-mails, maybe some phone calls.

My ideal client wants to feel more in control of their emotions and reactions. They are engaged and motivated to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life where they can pursue their passions and build meaningful connections without the weight of past traumas or current life circumstances holding them back. They want to reclaim their sense of self and find joy and contentment in their daily life (i.e., less time in therapy and more time living their life).

You’ve been feeling overwhelmed for a while. You’ve told yourself that if you just try a little harder or wait a little longer, your life will feel more in control. But if you’re being honest with yourself, the more time passes, the worse you feel. You’re starting to feel hopeless and you aren’t sure what to do next. You know it’s time to make a change. Going it alone hasn’t been working. You know you want to take back control of your life, but you aren’t quite sure how. You are starting to wonder if counseling could help you stop struggling and start enjoying your life.

As a therapist I’m drawn to those places of breakdown that so often have the potential to become breakthroughs. Usually these are discovered in the midst of broader life-cycle transitions, moments of grief and loss, seasons of depression or anxiety, or in response to the myriad of social and cultural pressures we face. These experiences can be disorienting, frightening and isolating, but with the support of a trusted companion to help us face the journey they can also reveal our own innate wisdom and strength and serve as the gateway to deeper healing and wholeness.

Molina insurance happily accepted! Life can get so out of control that we feel like we are running behind a train, never able to keep up or get on board. If you connect with any of the following statements, we should talk. I feel overwhelmed to the point of shutting down. I want to make life changes. Intrusive thoughts are ambushing me. Procrastination, yep. I feel exhausted after social engagements. I don’t know if I love my partner. My family acts like the trauma never happened. Depression and anxiety have infiltrated my life. I never expected this kind of financial or employment instability. I just need to talk to someone.

During the therapeutic process, I challenge clients with the statement that I am "Daring You to Be YOU!" This challenge of personal acceptance is designed to help individuals to evaluate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to determine what is hindering them from achieving their goals. As clients go through the therapeutic process, they learn to develop the intimacy (in-to-me-I-see) needed to develop the strength to face life's challenges. The ideal client wants therapeutic support in acknowledging personal triggers, defining happiness, developing healthy relationships, and identifying areas for personal development.
