"I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't feel like myself." Many things can happen in our lives that cause us to feel, "off," or not like we used to be. We may think that we aren't enjoying life as much as we used to, we may find that we are too caught up in our own head to enjoy things we used to enjoy. If you are feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious, worried, nervous, or having a hard time dealing with changes, therapy can help. Most of us want a life worth living: good relationships with ourselves and others, happiness, and motivation to do things that we want to do. If you're ready to make some changes and start feeling better, call me for a free ten minute consultation to see how I can help you get back on track to feeling better.

If you are looking for a therapist who specializes in depression, anxiety, life changes, and helping people get over bad things that have happened to them in the past, you have found the right therapist. Do you have past trauma that you can't seem to get over? Things that you think about more often than you would like that are holding you back? I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help people work through past hurts and/or trauma.

You don't have to suffer, you can get better. Let my non-judgmental, accepting and supportive therapy help you get on the road to living the life you have dreamed of. My office is a comfortable and safe place to explore things that are keeping you from having that life. We will use some humor in this process; therapy doesn't have to be 100% serious all the time. Check out my website to learn more about me and how I work. Give me a call or shoot me an email and we will do a free ten minute screening to see how I can help you on your healing journey.

I work with adults who are struggling with life changes, feeling sad, or anxious. I have specific skills for helping people cope with trauma and help people learn new skills for coping before we go deeply into working on trauma. Some clients say they feel a little better after the first session. We will work together until you feel you have gotten what you need to have a better quality of life.
