I believe we all have an innate wisdom and strength to grow from life's challenges and heal from painful experiences. The key lies in learning from our experiences, both past and present, and letting that acquired knowledge guide our futures. Therapy is your journey. It's my honor and privilege, as your therapist, to walk alongside you and help you process your story- creating room for insight, forgiveness, healing, and growth. I specialize in helping people build healthy relationships, overcome trauma, live well with chronic illnesses, and move through life transitions.
Your challenges in life are as unique as you are. So we’ll work through them together at a pace that is comfortable for you. I utilize therapeutic techniques that build upon your strengths, challenge harmful thought patterns, offer validation and empathy around trauma, and help ground you in the safety of the present moment.
It takes a strong person to recognize that something in their life doesn’t feel right and make the decision to reach out for help. I applaud you for your strength and commitment to your wellbeing. Remember, you are not alone. Feel free to reach out for a free phone consultation. We’ll talk a bit about what’s been going on in your life and how I can help.
