Life can be chaotic, overwhelming, confusing or unsatisfying at different times of our lives. When all we may see is a storm and having to fight and do battle we may miss the bigger picture. Therapy can help you learn to see and experience life differently. It can give us tools and knowledge to help you use the energy in the storm to create happiness and success.
As an experienced licensed counselor, I have helped many individuals work through their anxiety, life transitions, work/private life balance, grief, and burnout,and/or compassion fatigue. Together we identify what changes they want and need and make those changes to feel successful and in control of their lives.

Therapy is being able to step back for a moment. To sit with a trained experienced person who can help you see the forest.

Therapy is a commitment…
A commitment of time. Look at your schedule and your responsibilities. Is there a time each week that I can devote to a 50 minute therapy session? Am I able to put myself first for that time period, to work with a therapist and to make lasting changes in my life?
A commitment of affording therapy. Will I be using insurance benefits? Can I afford the cost of a copay, deductible or full or reduced fee if I am not covered by insurance?
A commitment to knowledge and change. Am I willing to be honest about what is going on? Am I ready to look at my options, learn skills to take ownership in my success and accept what I am not ready to change?
If your answer is yes, or you need to sit with someone to figure it all out, I can help…
