Sometimes our thoughts can be suffocating, like being stuck alone in a room, breathing in the same air over and over again. We hear our thoughts on loop – “I should be stronger.” “Why am I so overwhelmed by this?” “What’s wrong with me?” We lose perspective and we want relief.

Let’s be honest—no one lives a perfect life! We all encounter moments when life feels overwhelming and challenging, and we don’t always feel at our best. Everyone experiences ups and downs and navigates various life seasons. When times are tough it’s easy to feel isolated and disconnected. This is why I feel psychotherapy is so important—it offers a dedicated space to share your feelings and a supportive presence to help guide you through those tough times.

Many of us are stuck in old coping ways, that while they may have worked for the short term, may now be part of the issues we are experiencing. I work with individuals as well as couples to help identify the challenges, as well as the deeper influences and needs that can be driving them. Together, in a non-judgmental, safe alliance we can work to shift areas that have you feeling stuck.I believe that when we are feeling connected and heard we can function at a level that promotes growth, expands our sense of self, allows us to feel and act empowered.
