PARENTS, TEENS, BIPOC and LGBTQ. It is so hard when you feel alone and hopeless or worried that your best isn’t good enough, especially, for the people that you love and care about. Life keeps changing and it is hard to keep up when you don't feel like yourself. These changes can be related to school, career, fertility, gender, weight, sexuality, pregnancy, parenthood or caring for an aging relative. And the pain only grows when you can’t stop second guessing yourself, take that much needed break or friends and family don't quite understand.

Hi there, Congrats on making it to this step! Looking into therapy can be overwhelming, whether it is your first time or your familiar with it. You may think, is this really for me? I am here to tell you that you are not alone in this journey. I believe therapy is for anyone and everyone. Whether you are going through a crisis or not, having someone unbiased to talk to can help. You have to find the right fit and I hope I can be that, but if not I would love to provide you with other resources. I believe in making therapy an accepting and safe place that provides compassion, honesty, and focusing on Progress rather than Perfection.

COUPLES, FAMILIES and LGBTQ. I want you to have the interpersonal relationships you deserve and that you have always dreamed of. My approach to counseling is relational in it's focus. By nature humans are relational and interdependent. There is nothing more painful than broken or harmful relationships. While not every relationship can or should be mended, the pain caused can be felt for years to come and exaggerate or cause many forms of mental illness to include anxiety and depression.

EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. I have helped hundreds of people deal with relationship/couples issues, depression, anxiety, anger, addictions, sexual issues, trauma, and the full range of emotional issues. If you have been struggling, don't you deserve some relief? Let's talk. It is an intelligent person who knows when he or she needs help -- a brave person who asks for it -- a wise person who accepts it. Together, we can sort it out and turn things around. I use an eclectic approach, tailoring therapy to the needs of the client in an accepting, positive, and non-judgmental atmosphere.

Life can be dysfunctional and although many of us learn how to function in this dysfunction there are times where it may become too much to walk in alone. Your life seems filled with constant thoughts of "I should have: said that differently, told them how I felt, spoke up for myself". You struggle with fears of judgment and expectations. Somedays it may seem like an impossible mission to get out of bed, shower, feed yourself or socialize with others. You struggle with persistent irrational thoughts that you are aware of but can't seem to make them stop.

Are you seeking support, connection, and an opportunity to make positive changes in your life? Do you want a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment? Is your goal to find peace, happiness, and a deeper understanding of yourself? Do you want to feel heard, valued, and empowered to overcome life's challenges? Are you a parent who is seeking help for your child? I work with children, teens, and adults, and if you answered YES to any of those questions, I'm here to walk this path with you, providing support and guidance as we navigate the ups and downs together. Call (407) 863-2121 to book an appointment.
