If you’re like many of my clients, you’ve conquered in the workplace and found success. And yet, you’re not at peace with your life.

Psychotherapy, encompassing modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), offers a powerful and multifaceted process for addressing a wide range of mental health concerns beyond just depression. Through the therapeutic relationship, individuals gain a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT equips clients with practical tools to identify and modify unhelpful patterns, fostering healthier coping mechanisms and improved emotional regulation. EMDR, when appropriate, can address the impact of past experiences and traumas that may underlie present difficulties, facilitating emotional processing and reducing their lingering effects. This holistic process empowers individuals to gain self-awar

When you reach out for help, you take a courageous step towards your own healing. In counseling with me, you will be empowered to ask yourself the tough questions, risk new behavior, heal old wounds, and create a vision for yourself that includes personal power, a strong voice, clear boundaries, and healthy relationships. Counseling is a safe space to explore the myriad of issues that bring us to the place in our lives when we are ready to look deeper and make the changes necessary to heal, grow, and propel our lives towards health and happiness. I look forward to working together and co-creating the life that you deserve!

Therapy is the process of learning how to understand yourself, your motivations, and your relationships. I use the analogy that a therapist helps you in bringing all of your boxes out of storage, spreading the contents on the table, and making sense of it all. Therapy is not advice giving, but an investigation into the nuts and bolts of your decision making. It is my goal to empower you throughout this process, and to help you reclaim your strengths that have been buried by the junk of life.
