Introduction

Have you experienced a painful event and find that you are unable to get past it? Do you struggle with nightmares, anger, irritability or find yourself isolating more? Does your anxiety or depression prevent you from attending events or being successful at work? Have your relationships suffered as a result? Working together, we can find strategies to help you regain control over your life so you can heal and move towards the life you want. The past can’t be erased, but we can find ways to help you move forward. It is possible to manage your anxiety and depression so you can leave the house again, socialize with others, and have meaningful relationships. We will build resources so you can deal with the stress you thought would never go away and develop a space for you to unload the worry and suffering you’ve been carrying around. For the past 15 years, my work has focused on helping individuals improve their mood, gain positive coping skills, and maintain healthy relationships. Clients who have worked with me appreciate my straightforward and relaxed approach. I have created a calm place for you to talk about your feelings without judgment and have extensive experience working with a variety of individuals, including combat veterans and sexual assault/domestic violence survivors.
