"How do I know if I need therapy?"
In short, everyone does. Seriously, life is not easy. It rarely turns out the way we expect. We are often thrown curveballs, and we often find ourselves struggling through them. Most of the time we can handle them on our own or with the help of our family and friends. However, occasionally we cannot. This is a good time to seek therapy.
Other times, we may notice that some of the things that once helped us, are now harming us. We may have learned things from our family, that do not serve us well in our adult relationships or with ourselves. You may not even know what these things are. A lot of times, we recognize that our relationships are struggling or that perhaps we are struggling, but cannot pinpoint why or how. Therapy can help bring the clarity you need, as well as introduce new ways to relate to others and ourselves.
Sometimes, it's bigger than that. Sometimes we have been through some difficult traumas. We have been placed in situations that have harmed us, and we need help to stop the pain and heal. Therapy can help navigate you through that healing.

My Mission |
My mission is to help you develop new tools to handle life's challenges, in order to live a better life.

What To Expect From Me |
I believe that we all have an innate ability to be who we wish to be. I think life circumstances sometimes get in our way, and I view therapy as a way to clear some of those barriers. I like to think of my role as a therapist, as someone who walks beside my clients on their journey to self-awareness and self-fulfillment. I will never pretend to be the expert of YOUR life, but I will aide you in discovering the things that are harming you or holding you back.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the best way to contact you? Because I am in session most of the day, returning calls can be difficult. Email is best or schedule a consultation call at a time that works best for both of us. A consultation is a great place to start!
- Do I need a referral from my physician? No, you can simply use my online scheduler to make your 1st appointment.
- Do you take my insurance? I only take BCBS, so if you do not have BCBS then no. I can still see you, but you will have to pay out of pocket. $130 for individuals or $150 for couples and families. I can provide billing statements and depending on your plan, you may be reimbursed by your insurance.
- Do you see teens or kids? No, I only see adults.
- Where is your office? In Southpark, off Fairview Road
