I have experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, panic attacks, addiction, OCD, relationship struggles, codependency, ADHD, eating disorders, self harm, body dysmorphia, and more.
Maybe you struggle to feel confident using your voice. You question your feelings: Why do I feel this way? Is it OK to feel this way? Often times putting others ahead of ourselves leads us to feel burned out, anxious, and depressed. I will work with you to help gain a better understanding of yourself, your patterns, your hurts, and your strengths. I enjoy nurturing my client's self-confidence to help them move towards greater authenticity and joy.

You may have a unique cultural experience that you are not sure anyone will understand how to help you navigate. Or maybe you just don't feel right and need help figuring it out.

It can be hard to make the decision to start therapy, and equally as hard to stick to it. This is one of the primary reasons I became a therapist, to help those who’ve struggled with conventional methods. My experience has had a big impact on how I’ve structured clinical practice, leading me to throw the proverbial couch out the window and go with a more direct, accountability-based approach. Whether you’re working on processing a negative self-image, relationship difficulty, career stressors, or other symptoms related to anxiety or depression, we’ll always be working to build mindfulness, purpose, and intention towards your goals.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
