Have you tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

I have also been there—many times.

I was an extra-sensitive, introverted kid with my nose always in a book. I was shy, anxious, and socially awkward. Growing up, I experienced adverse circumstances that caused trauma and pain. Depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem were my constant companions.

Over the years I tried therapy repeatedly— but it never seemed to help.

I felt my therapists were just scratching the surface, focusing on symptoms rather than causes, and offering unhelpful advice. For example, in advising me on strategies to combat my severe anxiety, one counselor said, oh-so-insightfully, “You just need to learn how to relax!”

You may have tried therapy and found that it didn’t live up to its promises.

Maybe you wonder why you should bother trying again.

I hear you!

I felt the same way. But then I finally found real healing through several amazing therapists who used trauma-focused techniques that dug deep—far below the level of my symptoms—to root out the true source of my struggles.

That experience transformed my life and ignited a passion to become a therapist who was educated and equipped to extend that hope and healing to others.

What I hear from my clients is that therapy with me feels different than most of their previous counseling experiences. I meet my clients as equals, view them as the experts on their own lives, and offer a therapeutic relationship that is restorative, caring, accepting, and empowering.

I will really listen to you—but I won’t stop there. We will thoroughly explore your life story to locate the source of your struggles and target them for treatment. I will establish a safe, nonjudgmental space where together we will heal the deep wounds of your past. I will equip you with knowledge, perspectives, and tools that will allow you to get back to living your best life more quickly. I know therapy can be expensive so my approach is strategic, focused, and efficient.

You may be thinking, “I don’t have time for therapy!”

Let me ask: what is most important to you?

I’ll bet it’s your family…your kids, partner, or maybe someone else who means the world to you. I’m guessing you want more than anything for them to be happy, fulfilled, and healthy—even more than you want that for yourself. The best way to make sure the people in your life get what they want is to become the best version of yourself.

Or, just maybe, you are sick and tired of being sick and tired and are ready to heal just for you.

I urge you not to wait.

Let me help you rediscover—or find for the first time—the authentic, healthy, strong person you and your loved ones deserve.
