Am I where I want to be right now? Am I truly living the life I was destined to live?  At some point in life we ask ourselves these questions, and ponder how to fulfill them.  As a therapist, and more importantly, a human being, I'm here to help, or simply offer a safe place to unload, be heard, and to find meaning.  Together, we can learn to manage the range of emotions experienced while navigating life's ups & downs.  Whether it be the transition from high school or various stages in adulthood, together we'll look at the impacts of your past and the promises of the future, while remaining firmly grounded in the present.

Do you experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or trauma? Are these concerns impacting you at home, work, or other places? Seeking therapy can be scary, however, you have made the right decision.

We have all had experiences in life that leave us broken, discontent, confused, unstable, or even hopeless. We have heard the saying “life-happens” and often the expectation is that you can just get over it. Sometimes moving past traumatic experiences can be difficult, the emotional baggage can be heavy. Do you feel “stuck” or unable to move through your healing process? Maybe you need help navigating a stressful situation or difficult relationship. Are your thoughts overwhelming and consuming you with worry and doubt? Does this sound like you?

Do you ever feel like you're expected to be Superwoman, always strong and capable, no matter what? It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're carrying that weight day in and day out. And when it comes to relationships, it can feel like you're stuck in a vicious cycle of bad decisions and unsatisfying connections. Maybe you're struggling to connect intimately with your partner, or maybe you're feeling hopeless and empty. That's where I come in. As someone who understands what you're going through, I'm here to help. Let's work together for you to discover a new way forward, one that brings you peace, happiness, and fulfillment.

Do you find yourself living in the past, focused on pain, shame or regret? Are you stressed or anxious about what the future has in store for you? You may be missing out on living your life to the fullest TODAY. You are certainly not alone. Many of us are trying to figure out how to deal with past hurt or difficult experiences. I would love to help you obtain the peace and fulfillment you desire. You can feel more confident about yourself, your relationships, and your future, while enjoying life today. I am here to provide the guidance and encouragement you need and deserve.
