Have you been thinking about seeing a therapist but are uncomfortable about where to begin? Have you been feeling hopeless about your situation but don't know how to change it? I can help you heal from past experiences and add new skills for coping with the stressful events you are currently facing. My clients include teens through adults, individuals, couples, and families all facing stress due to multiple changes, losses, substance issues, relationships, jobs, and school. I believe having an opportunity to gain a new perspective will allow you to feel more hopeful about your future. Accumulated stressors may result in lack of communication, increased anxiety or depression, isolation, low self esteem and other distress. I can help you recognize when you're depending on behaviors you may have learned a long time ago that are no longer working and replace them with new ones. I spent many years working with civilian and active duty clients and families. I have a solid understanding about the impact of single and multiple losses, the cumulative effects of multiple traumas, and what it takes to overcome them. I am very easy to contact and offer a flexible schedule.
