At times, we all need help with everyday challenges -and even more so when problems show up. It is difficult to reach out for help. Especially in a culture that emphasizes self-reliance and independence. Problems (such as depression or anxiety) can disconnect us from the relationships that might help us to heal. Since 2016, I have worked with individuals, couples, & families to manage the problems they are facing and help re-connect them to significant relationships. I have helped others with relationship challenges, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and addiction. Problems limit our choices, I will help you discover new possibilities. I will meet you where you are to assist with the real life problems you are facing now. I have helped those in relationships navigate challenges. I have helped those struggling with problems that arise from attempts to comply with family and social "norms." I have learned from my experiences from both sides of the therapy process that it can be difficult to reach out for help and share the important stories of your life with a complete stranger. I work hard to minimize the anxiety that sometimes accompanies picking and meeting with a therapist.
