“The more you understand how worthy you are, the more likely you’ll find your strength again.” - Tabitha Brown. It is essential to understand our own worth and to learn who we are as individuals. Unfortunately through various life events, we may lose sight of who we are or never learn who we are at all. When we don’t have an understanding of our own worth, it is difficult to find our inner strength and to understand what we deserve out of life and relationships. Due to feelings of unworthiness and/or low self-esteem, we may end up making decisions, choosing relationships, and reacting to life in ways that do not serve us well.

I prioritize a strong therapeutic alliance, placing you at the heart of our work. My approach is client-centered, fostering empathy, warmth, and gentle challenges.

Together, we'll navigate challenges, promote insight, and empower you to embrace meaningful transformation by exploring the interplay between your past experiences, current patterns, and future aspirations.

Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and began to self destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. My goal is to best assist and support people in living authentic, balanced lives; navigating increased self-awareness in social systems, past experiences, core beliefs and thoughts and their influence on our daily emotional states, behaviors and actions.

Relationships and life in general can be stressful, frustrating, and disappointing. We are often taught to work more, give everything, be more, try harder and keep going at all costs. But for many of us, this becomes a never-ending cycle of exhaustion that can lead to anxiety and depression. My goal is to provide you with a safe and collaborative environment to help you develop the confidence to get what you want out of your life. I am passionate about self-care and I believe caring for your mental health should be given the same attention as caring for your physical health.

I empower others to live lives they have always dreamt of; to be their best and most authentic selves. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual in order to cultivate lifelong skills. I endeavor to provide an environment of trust, compassion, and respect during our time together. I respect and honor the innate wisdom of each individual to heal themselves; however, at times we all require some assistance. Increased life satisfaction, improved self-esteem, increased coping skills/stress management, resolution of problematic behavior, and restoration of hope may be some of the results of our work together.

Do you ever find yourself running through scenarios in your head and trying to predict outcomes? What if I can’t get this right? What if this is the wrong decision? What will happen if… Do you ever feel suffocated or weighed down by the responsibilities of relationships, other people's emotions or even their lives? Have you tried to handle everything alone, only to realize it’s left you feeling burned out and alone. If phrases like "Why does this keep happening?" and "I just want better for myself" echo in your mind, then it’s time to break the cycle. Allow me to help you find your way back to yourself.

Have you ever felt stuck in certain areas of your life and can tell it needs attention or relief? Sometimes, that mere curiosity is all we need to take steps toward a life filled with contentment, satisfaction, and emotional tolerance. I specialize working with adults who have experienced trauma in the past that is causing issues in relationships, work, performance, or overall important areas of life. Past trauma has a way of taking up space in our mind or body, and if left unresolved, will show up as anxiety, depression, withdrawal, and dissatisfaction. I am EMDR trained and use this as my main therapeutic modality.

Experiencing mental health symptoms does not define who you are. No matter the impact on your life, the ability to cope during crisis can determine how quickly you return to healthy mental functioning, I have learned that in our society, some strive to have approval from others, while many struggle with intrusive thoughts or abnormal behaviors stemming from experiences with various traumas, abuses, lifestyles or identities. As an LPC I want to provide a safe haven for all populations, in a setting where judgement is nonexistent and the person is placed before the symptom by using an eclectic style tailored for each individual need.
