Do you struggle with feeling stuck? Are you unable to move forward, yet feel uncomfortable standing still? This can be painful, and it is common to experience negative self-talk and self-doubt in these instances. These may be symptoms of your current circumstances, or perhaps these feelings are shaped by previous lived experiences. No matter the cause, we can all use support.
I believe that changing the way we think and feel about ourselves is the key to changing how we interact with others and the world. Positive self-talk, gratitude, and grounding skills are the hallmarks in this journey. My goal is to help you feel empowered to identify your own goals and how to accomplish them.
As a licensed mental health counselor who has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, I have worked with many individuals (18+) struggling with negative patterns, stress, and trauma. My passion is helping individuals get unstuck. If you are looking for someone to offer an experienced and empathetic ear, then we may be a great fit!
