Welcome!
Life isn’t always easy. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. You may feel overwhelmed by everyday stressors or discouraged by your relationships. Sometimes even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Many people come to see me because they are stressed parents struggling with troubled teens or adult children, or they want to communicate better with their partners. Some are couples who want to heal after an affair, or are contemplating divorce and its aftermath. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, emotional pain, chronic physical pain or a medical condition, or any other issue, or you just need someone to talk to, I may be the right therapist for you.
A dandelion will remain closed if there is a storm on the horizon, but once the storm has passed it will open up its beautiful, vulnerable self to the world. In the same way, humans stay closed up tight if the environment isn't safe. Only with safety is healing possible.
You might be initially hesitant to seek out help and support for personal matters, but when you do, you will feel confident that you are taking a courageous first step towards getting to a better place and to being a better you.
