Everyone thinks you have it “all together”, but inside you feel like you don’t even know who you are anymore or how you’re getting anything done. You may be fed up with always saving the day for others, yet have no idea how to help yourself, and feel a little selfish for even wanting to try! You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: something has to change. You’re ready to discover who you truly are and how to have better boundaries with others. You’re ready to feel confident in yourself and end unhealthy cycles. Most of all, you’re ready to take care of yourself for once.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside.

I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

Are you the friend that everyone goes to for advice but ends up fighting your own battles alone? I often see clients who have big hearts and love helping others but funny enough… they don’t give themselves all that love. This leaves them feeling burnt out with responsibility and left with little time to pursue their own goals. It’s hard to say “no” to loved ones in need, or even colleagues, but giving too much can lead to resentment. When was the last time you said “YES” to your dreams and aspirations? When was the last time you put yourself first? It’s time to break the pattern and give yourself the care that you deserve.

I like that I can provide therapy to those who would generally not seek help. The stigma attached can be a deterrent to good mental wellness as well as cultural conditioning, tradition, and limited access. It is important for the therapist to understand the cultural language being spoken even before a word is uttered. When you feel understood, you feel empowered. I offer a safe space without judgment. Welcome to my place! I am a trauma-focused therapist with extensive training and experience treating persons with PTSD, anxiety, depression, formerly incarcerated persons, women's issues, conflict resolution, and life coaching.

Are you frequently experiencing stress, anxiety, irritability, or sadness? Are significant life changes leaving you overwhelmed and uneasy? Embracing vulnerability is a challenging endeavor. It often seems easier to bury our emotions and avoid addressing them altogether, believing that by doing so, we can protect ourselves from pain. However, it frequently leads to more profound and persistent emotional and relational issues that persistently resurface in your life. It's crucial to recognize that healing begins with allowing ourselves to feel, even if it's uncomfortable or painful.
