Any crisis whether it stems from relationship problems, the after effects of fighting in war, contemplating suicide, sexual/physical assault and the like can be a dark and lonely place to be in. This is especially true considering that sometimes when a person experiences a traumatic event, he/she may find unhealthy ways to cope with feelings that are too overwhelming to deal with. As a result, most people don't seek help until an area of their life has been negatively impacted or they have gotten to a place that they don't want to live anymore.

I believe one of the bravest things a person can do, is to begin to understand their strength. When entering the therapy room with me, the expectation is that you are the expert of your life. It is not my job to tell you what to do but rather to assist you in discovering it on your own. I feel as if I didn’t choose to be a therapist, but rather this job chose me. My life experiences have brought me to the point in my life to be able to assist, support, and uplift my clients through whatever has brought them to this point in theirs.

What if I told you that an estimated 1 in 4 U.S. adults suffers with a diagnosable mental illness each year? What if I told you that 1 in 6 U.S. children has a mental illness? What if I also told you that you’re not alone and that I am ready to help? Imagine having the tools and support you, or your child, need to THRIVE. Imagine a life where the happy days far exceed the sad days. Imagine feeling supported, empowered, and in control of your life. This IS possible and not as far-fetched as you may feel it is right now!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, in a “funk”, lonely, or out-of-sorts? Feeling like you have to put on a face to show that you have it all together? Do you feel sadness or anxiety from past experiences or current events? Maybe it's hard to even pinpoint. It can be hard to ask for help, but coming here is a great first step toward living a fuller, happier life. I know from personal experience about the struggle of getting out of your own way and opening yourself up to change. Because of those experiences, I am passionate about helping you tap into the strength that you already possess and discover the values that align with who you are.
