Starting therapy comes with many questions: Who should I see? Will it be helpful? Will I feel understood? So much depends on the trust and comfort you feel with your therapist. Whether you are looking to gain insight into longstanding problems, develop specific skills, or explore relationship patterns, the heart of my work lies in creating a space that allows you to feel seen, understood, and energized to approach life in new and meaningful ways.

You're tired of not seeing improvements no matter how hard you try. You can imagine life before this crippling anxiety. The carelessness that you enjoyed before being tied to pornography. You're looking for that one solution to help you feel some relief.

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.

As a counselor, I do not rely on one type of therapy because everyone is unique. I offer an adaptive approach that dabbles in many theories to tailor a therapy plan as unique as the individual. Everyone has their own life to live, and they are the ones to decide on how that life is to be lived. Let me help you explore those possibilities and discover the life you want and deserve.

Would you like someone to talk to - completely without judgement or bias? To have a safe space for guidance? To gain a different perspective? Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is ideal for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be noted. Here, you are taking responsibility by accepting what you are experiencing and making a commitment to change something about it.

Everyone is different and comes to therapy with their own story and their own idea about what they'd like to gain or what they want the process to feel like. Regardless of any experience the therapist has, the individuality of each person should be respected above all else. I enjoy learning about people, which leads to guiding people to learn about themselves. I am a listener and observer who strives to make sure the people in my care feel supported and validated. People who tend to find success working with me have an idea of goals they'd like to meet and want a safe space to share ideas, feelings, and thoughts.
