It takes a lot of courage to look for help, and I’m glad you’re here. You may be feeling alone and like no one understands what you are going through. Perhaps you are feeling scared about coming into therapy because you're not sure where to start. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, an eating disorder, or problems with your relationships. Perhaps you have had painful experiences in the past that continue to impact you today. Whenever we come to that vulnerable place of asking for help, we want to know we will be understood and heard. That's where I come in.

Are you unsettled with a super hero cape that is weighing you down? Do you look like you have it all together, but you're secretly dealing with issues? Are you the one that people turn to for help with their problems, but you are to afraid or embarrassed to ask for help yourself? It is very easy to become consumed with trying to have it all, pretending to be okay, and putting others first. Unfortunately, the sacrifice of neglecting yourself, carrying emotional baggage from unaddressed pain, trauma, anger, and unhappiness, can lead to you feeling depleted physically, financially and mentally.
