Professionally, I approach counseling as an ally and assistant to my clients throughout their counseling journey. I believe "change" is defined by the individual and that everyone has the potential to grow when empowered to do so. We all experience some form of stress, grief, hopelessness, or fear, and the idea that we must shoulder the weight of these emotions alone is counterintuitive to who we are as humans. My goal is to provide you with strong support and tools to manage whatever struggles ...
Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real. We may wonder if it’s best to accept fleeting comfort from the ways we’re used to. Cold comfort feels better than no comfort. But if you’re reading this, a part of you suspects that just because it feels that way doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Life is hard, change is harder, but ignoring the call toward change is the harde...
Life is tough! I recognize and understand that sometimes life knocks us down or throws us a curve ball. Every now and then it can make it hard to get out of bed, ignoring our everyday responsibilities. Sometimes it can make us very anxious, worrying all the time if the decisions we’re making are the right ones. Making difficult transitions in life (i.e. what college to go to, what job to accept and am I in the right relationship) can be stressful. Therapy is a great opportunity to gain a new per...

I believe that embracing your true, authentic self is the product of healing the wounds and traumas of the past. Anxiety and trauma present themselves as memories that intrude while at school or work, negative thoughts towards yourself or others, nightmares that recur, stomach aches and headaches, and the feelings of guilt, shame, anger, and sadness. Anxiety and trauma symptoms can feel inescapable, and it can feel as though you are in quick sand, sinking deeper each day. As the mind ...

I think about patients from a psychodynamic perspective, and I make liberal use of both psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. In plain English? In all therapeutic endeavors, I try to maintain a balance between exploring early contributors to current troubles on the one hand -- and, on the other, focusing on present-day patterns that maintain or exacerbate them. I work from the premise that our choices and behavior often have unconscious motivations and unarticulated assumptions. ...
