Is your inner critic the loudest voice in your head? Are you feeling overwhelmed by your emotions or stuck? Being human can be incredibly difficult. It can also be incredibly beautiful. Do you find yourself losing sight of the beautiful parts? I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and difficulty with their self-esteem to overcome these experiences and build a life that is more satisfying and in line with their values.

Finding a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable is essential for a successful outcome. Clients have told me that I am easy to connect with and tend to put people at ease quickly. Creating a warm, respectful and non-judgmental atmosphere is my first priority. I also feel that laughter/humor can be very therapeutic when appropriate!

Everyone is molded from their experiences, perspectives, and identities which can shaped a sense of reality. Our racial identity, social class, sexuality, and ethnic backgrounds shapes us in developing wisdom/techniques of resiliency to endure distressing moments. These same experiences can become increasingly distressing which can lead us into believing unauthentic beliefs of who we really are. For healing to take place, a requirement of safety/security need to be present in order for authenticity to be formed. Often is the case where strength and growth is developed when faced with the discomforts of the past.

I often hear folks express some form of the following: “part of me says this but another part wants that.” This internal tension can lead to feelings of confusion, loneliness, overwhelming worry, and shame. These emotions, while uncomfortable, are trailheads to exploring important questions like: Why do I feel this way? What drives my behavior? What makes me avoid certain people or situations? If it feels like painful emotions or misguided impulses are inhibiting your best self, therapy can help you regain access to confidence and clarity.
