The challenges of life’s situations, the loss of a loved one, underlying trauma, mental illness, substance misuse, intimate partner violence can bring on feelings of loneliness, sadness, fear, anger, desperation, hopelessness, and grief to name a few. These emotions can at times leave us feeling “not like ourselves,” overwhelmed, and out of control, thereby, interfering with our daily lives and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Take a moment to imagine your life without these problems.
Imagine being able to manage your emotions when troubles arise. Attending therapy may feel uncomfortable and intimidating, but imagine being able to manage those feelings as well. Your very presence on this site, at this moment, tells me that you are either contemplating or have already decided to get help. Work with me so that we can begin finding solutions and maximizing your growth potential.
Through empathy, humor, and my commitment to empowering you, I will work with you to help you become the you that you want to be, to acquire the skills you need to help yourself at the moment, and to live a life worth living. My welcoming, warm and friendly energy creates a safe and supportive space for my clients to explore and share their life experiences.
