If you feel depressed or overwhelmed by life and feel like you need to make a change but don’t know how, you’re not alone.

Therapy can help you become more self-aware and develop a better understanding of who you are and what you n...

We all want to be happy. We may feel stuck or face challenges. Getting support from someone on the outside, in the counseling or psychology field, can help you gain a new perspective. You can learn to make better choices, feel less anxious and feel more optimistic; find peace in the day-to-day. In my practice, I see adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, and here’s a little bit about how I work: I work in the here-and-now and have background training in Gestalt theory and util...
