In therapy, I provide a comfortable space for you to be yourself and to work through challenges.

Lately have you felt anxious, sad or angry? And have these feelings made you feel hopeless, not good enough, or influenced you to use substances to cope? Overcoming these feelings might feel impossible to do and make you feel stuck. Many people engage in therapy to achieve peace and stop the cycle of distress. They want a therapist who can relate to them on a human level. In therapy, I provide a comfortable space for you to be yourself and to work through challenges. We'll develop skills to help reduce the sadness, and anxiety. By doing this, you'll be able to live more in the present, feel connected to yourself, and have healthier relationships with your friends, spouse, and children. Right now, life might be challenging, and we’ll work together in your journey towards relief and contentment with yourself and the people you care most about.
