You’re ready to develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence, improve your relationships with family, friends, and partners, and develop healthy coping skills.
Your life feels like a broken record. You wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed. Rinse and repeat. You're not sure what you want out of life, and you're starting to wonder if you'll ever be happy. There's always something that needs to be done, and you never seem to have enough time. You're starting to question your worth. You compare yourself to others and wonder why they seem to have it all together. You feel like you're not good enough. You're lonely. You're tired of feeling this way. You want to break the cycle and start living your life to the fullest. But you don't know where to start.

Traumas can include bullying, harassment, rape, family conflict, eating disorders and humiliation.
Are you currently overwhelmed with all that you have to do? Does it feel like things are getting worse every day? We are living in incredibly anxious and unprecedented times where we are being asked to do the impossible. During the most challenging of times, we all need some extra support and help. Often times when we are stressed with day to day life, old traumas and stressors can resurface. I work side by side with you in a collaborative way to help you learn new ways to regulate your emotions so you can become unstuck and refocus and move toward your goals.

I've helped clients create goals to manage mood disorders, family relational problems, substance abuse issues, and to create coping skills to manage every day stressors.
Everyone deserves the support they need in order to thrive and be their best self. In today's world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and stuck. Therapy is a tool to address those feelings and promote positive change and growth. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard and supported, and I strive to provide that experience in therapy, whether you feel like you need support to address a current stressor or have a desire to change long-standing patterns. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, and believe that all people deserve the chance to explore their gender identity in a safe and supportive environment.
