As a parent myself, I know what it's like to feel like you are fighting an uphill battle with your child or staying grounded within other crisis situations. Over the years, I have helped countless individuals and families find the solutions they need.

Many realize that they have a deep well of inner strength, just waiting to be tapped. Let me help you, gain insight into important areas of your life.

Therapy can be a potent means of gaining insight into many individual/family issues. It can provide a safe/non-judgmental environment where one can speak and be heard. Life is ever changing. Therefore, when life changes our natural response is to attempt to maintain control of the situation and sometimes, we get stuck in familiar roles/behaviors that no longer fit our current situation. Therapy work consists of addressing one's thought processes, feelings and behaviors, understanding inner conflicts, finding new/healthier coping skills to deal with and alleviate stress.

A genuine and supportive therapeutic relationship can help you take an honest look at your feelings and thoughts about yourself and your relationships with others, which will bring about the change that removes the barriers to a healthy and fulfilled life.

Do you sometimes feel misunderstood or judged because you don't have mainstream beliefs or a cookie-cutter lifestyle?

Welcome! I believe that counseling is an exploration of our personal lives, and can lead to a discovery of the best versions of ourselves. I believe that a therapist should be there as an empathic person who can assist you in understanding why you are currently "stuck" and help you explore your options for a more comfortable life. Typically, when we are in a place where we feel emotionally paralyzed, we are stuck feeling helpless. The hope is that utilizing therapy can help you get "your voice back" and feel empowered again.
