Therapy is about helping you with your unique challenges. Supporting you over the short or long term.

I think you know what would make you happy but don't know how to make it happen. This applies to both individuals and couples. People stop themselves from moving forward because they think they can't or don't deserve to get their own needs met.

It seems daunting but, with support and direction, it is possible to improve your life. This is even true for people who are suffering from more debilitating problems such as Bipolar Disorder, OCD,or Schizoaffective Disorders.

As a therapist, I work to create a safe, supportive space in which you feel secure in exploring the parts of your life that may feel overwhelming.
