I can help you work towards the real issue right away and help you start feeling better from the first session. First thing I want to say is that I am so sorry your heart is feeling a consistent pain...This pain is very important to me and I am here for you. We can make it.
A broken heart is the root of most individual and relationship problems. The brains job is to reduce pain and numb the heart. I believe that you can learn all the coping skills in the world, however, if your heart is broken, those skills usually will not work. Once the heart feels soothed and understood then the mind may accept new solutions and skills.
If you are looking for Couples/Family Therapy, I can help your relationship discover harmony, trust, teamwork, and feelings of closeness. We will do this by first creating emotional safety, setting up boundaries, and learning how to speak "to" each other, rather than "at" each other.
Having personally overcome my depression and anxiety, I can help you feel validated and understood. I know the pain and emptiness these issues cause. I would love to work with you and help you start feeling better. Call or email so we can begin our journey, I am here for you.

I want you to know that I’m here to help you see something truly important: you’re not just a victim or a villain in your own life. You are the hero of your story, and together, we can navigate through the challenges and reclaim your strength.
I understand that feelings of shame, pain, and fear can often stand in the way of true connection and belonging. My goal is to support you in overcoming these obstacles, so you can open yourself up to vulnerability and love in your relationships.
I’m genuinely excited to embark on this journey with you, working side by side to foster your growth and create positive change. Remember, you’re never alone in this process, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I am here to help you begin to feel hope again regardless of how dark or difficult your current situation may be. I believe that everyone has the ability to look forward and begin to take steps to better their lives. We can do this by outlining what steps and skills we can learn together to make this hope a reality.
At times, we may need to just sit and process what we are feeling. I am here to provide that safe space for you, where we can just sit and feel these feelings together.
I believe connection and understanding really brings a deeper kind of healing that outlasts most coping skills. Therapy doesn’t need to be a place where you only talk about your problems, it can be a place where you can connect, feel heard, valued, and ultimately move forward.
I look forward to working with you, please text, call, or send me an email and I would be privileged to join you in your journey.

I want you to know that I’m here with you as we navigate through the tough experiences that may have left you feeling judged, labeled, or dismissed. By sharing these challenges with someone who genuinely cares, we can uncover the patterns behind them and find new ways to heal—not just for today, but for your future too. I’m committed to being here with you every step of the way, supporting you as we work through this together.
I understand that emotions are often unfairly labeled as “bad” and pushed aside, hoping they’ll disappear on their own. But they don’t vanish; instead, they can grow more intense and overwhelming. My role is to help you gently navigate through these feelings, uncovering their connection to your present situation.
Together, we’ll create a safe, empathetic space where your voice is not only heard but cherished. I’m committed to walking with you on this journey of self-discovery and emotional healing, where your experiences truly matter and finding peace is a shared goal.

I am here to help you begin to accept how wonderful of a person you are and who you can become. I believe that you are a wonderful person and that we all are. However, we tend to reject ourselves and that can create feelings of depression and anxiety. We can achieve self-acceptance by first discovering where this rejection came from and making small adjustments to the way that we view our worlds. I have a very special place in my heart for those who struggle with pornography addiction. I can work with you to remove shame and guilt and free yourself from the cycle of addiction.
For couples, I can help you connect with each other to create a loving and supportive relationship where you can both grow together rather than grow apart. We will begin by creating a safe space to have difficult conversations and learn how to be accepting and vulnerable with your partner.
I would feel privileged to get to know you and begin our journey together. Please contact me via phone or email to begin.
