Do you struggle to cope with difficult or overwhelming emotions? Are you afraid of what might happen if you allow yourself to "feel too much?" Do you feel stuck and hopeless about changing unhealthy patterns in your relationship? Maybe you find it too uncomfortable to assert yourself and "get real" with your partner about what you need. Therapy can help people gain insight and learn new skills to confidently address whatever stands in the way of living an authentic and purpose-driven life.

I believe relationships affect every area of a person’s life, the most important being the relationship with yourself. Our complex society has made navigating relationships challenging to say the least. Simply put, we could all use some help from someone we can openly talk to without fear of judgement.

You’re feeling overwhelmed and you’re not sure what’s wrong. You're having a hard time feeling settled and you feel stuck. You can't shake the feeling that something is missing. It must feel hard to admit that you’re not looking forward to anything. I know how unsettling that must feel. Using compassion and a non-judgmental approach, I help clients slow down and explore the discomfort. I know it's easy to ignore this feeling but you know this is causing you anxiety and seeping into all parts of your life. I can help.

I am passionate about helping individuals reach emotional and mental wellness. My approach is centered on creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space for you to explore and process your experiences, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. I believe that often we are unaware of the assumptions and beliefs that quietly shape our thoughts, actions, and experiences. By actively questioning and reassessing our beliefs, we can alleviate these mental burdens and cultivate a more flexible and resilient mindset. This process often leads to increased self-awareness, emotional resilience, increased sense of confidence, and more joy in life.

Your reasons for coming to therapy and your experiences are unique to you. Many of us have to navigate difficult relationships and complex life challenges while being told we just need to "push through" or "get over it". Though we find creative ways to be resourceful and resilient, the experiences stay with us and leave our bodies carrying the impact. We all deserve to connect with our vitality and I believe everything you need to heal resides inside yourself. Together, we will support the mobilization of your internal resources so you can live in alignment with your authentic self and have healthy meaningful connections.

There may be times where a person may feel so overwhelmed by their feelings or external circumstances that they are crippled from living the life that they desire and yearn for. These feelings or external circumstances may present themselves as negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, traumatic events, family dynamics and so much more. There is a need and desire for a safe space where one can process through external circumstances and how they impacted them; navigate through those difficult and overwhelming emotions with empathy and compassion; and where they can be their authentic selves without the worry of judgement or rejection.

Deep down, you know life can be better. You've done your best to keep it together in spite of how difficult it seems to do and to be your best. You may have endured stigma for being "different," or experienced bullying or neglect. You may be struggling in a family relationship or with your partner because you or the other person is neurodivergent or from a different culture. You might be dealing with debilitating fear, worry, anger, shame, and sadness, wondering if life has to always be this hard. Deep inside you, though, there's a small voice of hope that says you can do better than just "making do."
