You want to feel happy again. But before you step out of bed in the morning, you already feel anxious and overwhelmed. You work hard to be a good mom, wife, employee, and friend. But lately you are realizing that you are stuck in a cycle of worry and stress. And you don't know how to break out of it. You are starting to wonder... Is this as good as my life is going to get? You wish you could figure out what has changed and how to get some relief.

I believe everyone is seeking meaning in life. We desire a story in which we experience love, acceptance, and fulfillment. Many of us get stuck somewhere along the way due to complicated circumstances and relationships. We do the best we can to survive when we were meant to thrive. A typical client for me desires to make a change and live a more fulfilling life. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. My goal is to help clients learn proactive ways to respond to life’s obstacles and improve their quality of life.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. 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.

I understand the pain involved with couple's problems, with anger, with anxiety, and with depression. My true specialty is anxiety, I find it fascinating and is my favorite subject. I love what I do and deeply respect the guts it takes to reach out for help. Everyone deserves a space dedicated to their needs and someone who not only listens to you but really hears what you have to say. Sometimes life is just plain hard and it's helpful to talk about it. While my approach is gentle, I still like to lay the cards face-up on the table.
