Life’s challenges can feel like flying through heavy turbulence—unsteady, overwhelming, and leaving you unsure of your direction. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, the lingering pain of grief, or feeling disconnected in your relationships, it may feel like you’re losing altitude and struggling to stay on course. Trying to find your way alone can be exhausting, especially when it seems like nothing changes, no matter how hard you try. That’s where I come in. I’m here to help you regain control, stabilize your path, and find clarity. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and chart a route forward that aligns with your goals and values. This is your journey, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. As a clinical social worker and therapist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals and couples break free from the cycles that leave them feeling stuck. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy. Instead, I focus on evidence-based strategies designed to help you gain insight, develop practical skills, and make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, or life transitions, we’ll work together to identify what’s holding you back and take actionable steps to move forward. Therapy with me is a mix of practicality and warmth. I take a no-nonsense, solutions-oriented approach to help you tackle challenges head-on, but I also believe in creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly. Think of me as your navigator—you’re in the pilot’s seat, steering the direction of your journey, and I’m here to guide, support, and occasionally throw in a metaphor (or a joke) to lighten the load. For men, I understand that seeking therapy can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Society often tells men they need to “tough it out” or avoid talking about emotions altogether. I challenge that notion by offering a space where men can work through issues like stress, anger, grief, or relationship concerns in a way that feels productive and aligned with their values. My goal is to help you feel grounded, confident, and in control of your life. For couples, I help navigate the complex dynamics that can arise in relationships. Whether you’re stuck in a cycle of miscommunication, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling to rebuild trust, I provide practical tools and insights to help you reconnect and strengthen your bond. Therapy is a place where both partners can feel heard and understood, creating a foundation for healthier communication and deeper intimacy. I also have a special passion for working with young adults and teens, particularly those who feel overwhelmed by the transition to adulthood. The pressure to figure everything out—school, work, relationships—can feel paralyzing. Together, we’ll tackle the anxiety, self-doubt, or uncertainty you may be feeling and build the confidence and resilience needed to thrive during this pivotal time in your life. If you’re facing grief or loss, I understand how isolating and disorienting it can feel. Grief has a way of clouding our sense of direction, leaving us stuck in the past or unsure of how to move forward. I offer compassionate guidance to help you process your emotions, honor your loss, and rediscover a sense of purpose and hope. My approach is always forward-focused. While we’ll look back when necessary to understand patterns or unresolved issues, the primary goal is to help you take actionable steps toward the life you want. Whether that means learning new coping strategies, improving communication, or reframing unhelpful thought patterns, therapy with me is about empowering you to take control and chart a clearer, more fulfilling path. Imagine waking up with a clearer mind, a lighter heart, and a renewed sense of purpose. Imagine feeling more connected in your relationships, more confident in your decisions, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—because you’re not broken. It’s about uncovering the strengths and resources you already have and learning how to use them effectively to create the life you deserve. You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you’re ready to tackle life’s turbulence head-on or you’re just looking for a co-pilot to help steady the course, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and explore what’s possible. Call today for a free 15-minute consultation, and let’s start charting your journey to calmer skies and greater clarity. You’ve got this—and I’m here to help you get there.
