Anxiety has caused you to experience exhaustion and isolation. You constantly have doubts and worries floating around in your thoughts. It feels like your mind won’t stop thinking about everything at once. You doubt yourself because every little decision feels monumentally consequential. Normal tasks that used to bring you joy no longer do, even your hobbies have fallen by the wayside. Friends try reaching out to you, but you end up withdrawing further away from them. You wish there were a way to go back to when you were happy and sure of yourself, but there seems to be this massive gap that just can't be bridged.

As humans, we strive to feel safe, heard, and understood. Without these three components, we may be left feeling lost, broken, or insufficient as an individual. In session, I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment to explore the obstacles that are keeping you from living a more meaningful life. I’m trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.

You are tired, stressed, and fighting with your partner. How did it get this bad? What is wrong with me? You just want feel calmer and like you and your partner on the same page again. You are tired of "pretending" to have it all together. They say "trauma" is the root of everything, humm. Chaotic childhood home, check. But you have told yourself "It wasn't THAT bad." But as the black sheep of your family, raised in chaos, you can't help but wonder if all this might be related. The constant loud self critic, people-pleasing, and feeling misunderstood. It is time to unpack the stuff that is holding you back.

The stress of recent world events may increase anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Big "T" traumas are life-threatening events that may be witnessed (bystanders) or experienced. Little "t" traumas include non-life-threatening injuries, emotional abuse, death of a pet, bullying or harassment, loss of significant relationships, just to name a few. All traumas have a significant emotional impact. Failing to address any trauma may result in anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, just to name a few. Living with painful memories can be devastating to the mind by creating chaotic thinking.

Have a problem? Let's begin to solve it! Therapy is much more than just having someone to talk to, psychologists are professionally-trained listeners who can help you get to the root of your problems, overcome emotional challenges, and help you make positive changes in your life. We all have problems and make mistakes; it's the choices we make while dealing with these struggles that will have an impact on our lives. I'd love to be your partner in the recovery process where we move from a state of pain and confusion toward hope, healing, and happiness.

Life is not void of pain, conflict, or uncertainty, yet sometimes these experiences leave us hopelessly waiting for the ending to be rewritten. I’m humbled to be able to listen to clients’ stories, instill hope into their narrative, and find greater strength and resilience in the next chapter. I aim to support those who’ve been silenced or conditioned to believe that counseling is not for them; your story is valuable and will not go unheard. I use an eclectic theoretical approach to meet individual client needs, and provide the therapeutic support needed to help them retell their story in a way that brings about healing and purpose.
