Does this sound like you?

Perhaps you struggle to find joy and be present in the moment, preoccupied with fear of the future. Maybe you find yourself withdrawing from life, feeling exhausted from the day-to-day and struggling to make it through. Perhaps you and your partner are stuck in a cycle of conflict and struggle to find a way to move forward in communication.

  • OR
    Feeling you have tried everything and nothing seems to be working.

  • Remaining struck in the cycle because it is familiar and no matter how bad things get, it is predictable.

  • Having the same conversation with your partner but not feeling heard or moving towards resolution.

How I Can Help

I specialize in counseling and helping people move forward in life.

  • Anxiety greatly changes how people think, often causing them to think negatively and make poor decisions. Those with anxiety may have racing thoughts or dwell on worst-case scenarios, making it hard to focus and understand information. Learn More

  • Depression significantly impacts cognitive functions, leading to difficulties in concentration, memory, and decision-making. Individuals may experience a pervasive sense of mental fog, making everyday tasks feel overwhelming. Cognitive decline can exacerbate feelings of helplessness and frustration, creating a vicious cycle that deepens the depressive state. Learn more

  • Trauma can significantly alter the brain's function and structure. Following a traumatic event, the stress response activates, impacting the amygdala, which processes emotions and fear, and the hippocampus, vital for memory and learning. This can lead to heightened anxiety, emotional difficulties, and memory formation issues, potentially resulting in PTSD, depression, and anxiety disorders. Understanding trauma's effects on the brain is essential for effective therapeutic intervention and healing.
