Practice Information

We all want the best out of life. Sometimes we need a little help getting there, whether its stress, depression, anxiety, children, or a myriad of things that has you feeling as if you aren't who you want to be-it does not matter. What matters is that you are seeking out better...and better is possible. Today you are one step closer to feeling empowered and on a positive path to growth, well-being and new life. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that you are proud to be a part of. Taking time for your own therapy isn't selfish, its a gift that everyone benefits from. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges that currently keep you from moving forward. Let's take a look at your life and figure out why situations may not be working out for you and we will gently implement change so that you can have the life you desire. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to help you make change. Every person is different, no one fits into any specific mold-nor do I believe they should, so your experience in therapy with me may be different than any prior experiences, I do not have a cookie cutter approach-your therapy will be individualized and designed for you. I utilize a variety of therapy methods, ranging from talk therapy to exercise incorporation with the hope of increased motivation and overall quality of life and decreased depression, anxiety, and life ailments. Please call or email me for an individual, couples, behaviorism, or family therapy consultation today.
