OPEN FOR NEW CLIENTS!! Are you carrying things with you that are affecting your everyday life; your work, your relationships, home life, parenting, your reactions, concentration, intrusive thoughts? You do not need to carry these things with you every day. They are weighing you down, and it is time for you to reset yourself. I work with individuals, couples, and families. Your particular needs determine which type of therapy works best. When working with couples and families I take a systemic approach. I view the "system" or interactions among one another as being faulty, not any particular individual.

Being human is complicated. Together, we’ll find the peace of mind you're looking for, and we’ll restore, repair, or rebuild your relationships. We’ll practice empathy, vulnerability, and engagement. Sometimes, life can feel like a series of constant transitions and detours, and even positive changes can feel unsettling, while we also feel desperate for meaningful change. Daily life can feel unmanageable or unendurable, and if so, we'll shift things to make life easier. With empathy and enthusiasm, we’ll work together to create the sustainable change you're looking for.

Decisions that stem from fear or old unhealthy patterns will bring you conflict and confusion. It's that simple... Happiness is a choice and a practice, despite the labels we may have been given along the way.
