Why Therapy?
Health, Healing, Happiness
Sometimes all hell is breaking loose.
Sometimes life just isn’t going the way you thought it would.
Sometimes you wake up, look around and know the time has come for things to change.
Therapy is not just for impossible situations. It’s for those times when you are low on ideas, energy or hope but you aren’t ready to give up. Working with a trained professional is not unusual. We go to mechanics, work out with coaches, love tech support. I am trained to help people sort out a tangle of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that aren’t making them satisfied.
Therapy:
Relieves depression
Soothes anxiety

Above all, it helps you reach your goals.
