Life is hard and messy. You feel like there is no hope, you have nowhere to turn, leaving you feeling helpless. Or it can begin to feel like a roller coaster ride, moods lifting you up and down, issue after issue rolling in waves of emotions. Not knowing how to think or feel. Therapy can empower you to create growth, build confidence, and increase your self-esteem. Find the strength to face your journey and empower change within yourself.

Since 1998, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families and treating issues related to: depression, anxiety, communication problems, interpersonal conflict, trauma recovery, military deployment, abortion recovery, adult children of divorced parents, pre-marital counseling, multi-cultural marriage and many other identity/spiritual crises. I see clients on the brink of divorce rediscover their passion for each other, clients merely surviving with depression/anxiety start truly living again, and clients going through the motions find purpose, meaning and fulfillment in their relationships, in their careers and in their lives. Often 10-14 sessions can lead to significant and lasting change.
