Personal Statement

When we find ourselves in a cycle of unhappiness, it can sometimes seem easier to remain in our discontent. Change is difficult and scary. Sometimes, we don’t even know what we need to do to transform our lives, breaking the cycle of dysfunction or conflict that invades our lives. The good news is change is not impossible. Personal growth and transformation are within your reach, all you need to is reach back.

You may find yourself seeking help for issues like anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, difficult transitions (divorce, parenthood, career), and stress. Finding balance in life regarding the many roles you maintain can also be a challenge; career, home, and personal needs may be in conflict, and you need to find clarity. I can provide a professional and objective perspective to help you understand the underlying issues weighing you down and the means for reaching your goals.

I provide individual, couples’, and family counseling in a comfortable and caring environment. Located in metro-accessible downtown, I offer clients both daytime and evening appointments.
