I believe in the transformative power of understanding one's emotional responses to create lasting and meaningful change. I hope to provide my clients with a foundation of knowledge to help them understand the mechanisms behind their responses and how, with time and intention, they can be changed. I pride myself on my communication skills and seek to provide objective and relatable feedback that people find easy to understand and implement. Because of this, I find I work well with those who value learning as a catalyst for change. My specialized training focuses on supporting those with anxiety, dissociation, and PTSD.

Have you ever noticed the crazy stories we believe when we are trying to make ourselves "better"? We think that if we beat ourselves up enough, somehow we will be "better." If we judge ourselves enough, if we reject ourselves enough, somehow, we think we will be more loving...more caring...more productive. But one process does not lead to another. We cannot hate ourselves into a state of loving. We cannot reject ourselves into a sense of acceptance. It just doesn't work. It never has. It never will. So, what does work? Self-care. Self-kindness. Self-compassion. Self-awareness.

Life stress often leaves us feeling anxious with difficulty focusing, racing thoughts, insomnia, and general restlessness. We may feel as if there is a dark cloud over our eyes, a change of appetite, difficulty doing basic tasks. Changes cause stress and uncertainty. College, marriage, the birth of children, new jobs are positive life transitions that can also be unsettling and an adjustment. Moving, kids leaving home, retirement and losses such as divorce, passing of loved ones, caregiving and the aging process can cause a significant amount of stress. The good news is life transitions help us grow.

The thought of someone being upset with you makes your skin crawl. Another day gone by where you kept your thoughts to yourself to keep the peace. Big emotions and conflict feel dangerous and you fear as soon as you say what you’re feeling, people will judge and leave you. Being agreeable and going along with what others want feels like the safest way to live. You're spending the day replaying convos in your head, questioning if you said the wrong thing and worrying if that person is mad at you. You're exhausted from always apologizing, but backing down would cause conflict and you'd be seen as a problem for others.

Counseling is an incredible opportunity to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors and how they impact relationships and life experiences. Understanding our thoughts and emotions can give us insight into what we need to grow and heal. My goal is to support healing, recognize strengths and encourage growth. “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung

Transitions to new roles, the loss of old ones or the stress of current roles can sometimes bring challenges, mixed emotions, difficult thoughts, and new behaviors that may surprise us. It can be hard to find stability in an ever-changing path and at times can impact our daily life and relationships. Transitions in identity to new parenting roles, new jobs, or job stress, moving away from family, or starting a new educational path can all present challenges we may not have expected.

Let’s be honest, life throws some serious curveballs. School stress. Job burnout. Family drama. Relationships. Grief. Lonliness. Anxiety. Problems that seem unsolvable. I understand what it’s like to feel stuck. You might not even know where to start. I became a therapist because I truly want to walk alongside your journey and 100% support you. In particular, I specialize in underserved communities (minorities) due to my own negative experiences receiving “help” from professionals who weren’t helpful. Shifting from frustration to empowerment, I want to be a positive light and advocate to help you build life-changing skills and hope.

It is a hard time to be a human being on this planet. We didn't choose our brains, our bodies, our upbringings; we can't control how other people behave; and yet we are still responsible for ourselves and our own emotions. If you're struggling to make sense of your emotions and behaviors, I provide a safe space to explore and understand your patterns while also finding ways to act more effectively, in alignment with your values.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, anger issues? Negative thoughts or traumatic events, small or large, can shape the way you view yourself and those around you, which can lead to a multitude of mental health issues. These often include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance abuse, relationship difficulties and other mental health problems. Everyone deserves a life worth living. Unresolved trauma or unaddressed mental health issues can prevent that from happening. I work exclusively with adult clients.
