Licensed since 2001, my experience with individual adults, couples, and families has led me to the simple approach of getting back to basics. Getting back to what matters most. Taking inventory on where we’re going in life and how we got where we are now. It’s important to take a breath and give ourselves credit for being where we are now. If you find that you are stuck, let’s figure out why. Being stuck is only temporary. There is hope. I think if we change the way we think about things and try new approaches, we can tackle hurdles. Our thoughts are powerful. You know how not being able to get negative thoughts out of your head leads to hopelessness? Well, it can work the opposite too. Positive thinking can turn things around. Breaking down useless cycles and critical judgments can set someone free. I know, easier said than done. I know, if it were that simple, you wouldn’t be seeking help. Well, we all need an objective viewpoint and some new ideas once in a while. So, let’s start the journey together – breaking things down, getting back to basics, and building things back up in a stronger, more sustainable form.

Therapy is a personal journey and can vary greatly from one person to another. The pace and specific methods used will depend on your unique needs, preferences, and circumstances. The ultimate goal is to empower you to understand yourself better, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and improve your overall quality of life.
The length of therapy is different for everyone – some people find benefit in just a few sessions, while others may engage in long-term therapy. The decision on how long to continue therapy is typically made jointly by you and your therapist, based on the your specific needs and goals.
Therapy isn’t just for those with mental illness. People seek therapy for a wide range of reasons, including stress management, personal growth, relationship issues, grief, “feeling stuck”, and more. Therapy is a space where you can speak openly, without judgment, and work towards positive change in your life.
Finding the right therapist is a crucial part of the process. It’s important for individuals to feel comfortable and connected with their therapist, as this greatly influences the effectiveness of the therapy. I often tell my clients that therapy is like solving a puzzle. The more pieces you feel comfortable showing your therapist, the better the therapist will be in helping you to solve the puzzle.
