Each life transition or stage can bring a combination of uncertainty and hope. Impactful life transitions include moments of processing loss and dealing with grief. Oftentimes, these moments bring on feelings of hopelessness, sadness, and loneliness. My job is to offer a secure space to help you through these powerful feelings and difficult times. In practicing from a strengths-based or client-centered lens, some of the most profound moments have been guiding clients to discover their resilience, strengths, and abilities to cope with presenting challenges. Clients of all backgrounds and identities are welcome in my practice.

From time to time, everyone has struggles in life, whether it's adjusting to loss or transitions, coping with problems in relationships, or with balancing the demands of daily life. Though it can really help to talk things over with a professional counselor, sometimes people hesitate, fearing the possibility of being judged or not understood. I believe that providing a safe, trusting, and nonjudgmental environment is one of the most important elements of good therapy, an element that allows positive change to occur.

Do you struggle with regulating your emotions, have a negative self-view, or notice that you struggle with maintaining relationships? Or maybe you recognize that you experience feelings of guilt, shame, and helplessness, while also struggling with anxiety, depression, or even dissociation. These symptoms often stem from exposure to trauma that has resulted in deep-rooted emotional and psychological wounds that may have come from experiencing an unhealthy relationship with a partner or a family member.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? Do certain patterns in your life seem to persist, causing pain, discomfort, and frustration? Maybe there are past life experiences that feel hard to break free from. Therapy is a helpful tool in seeking relief from the things that hold us back emotionally, and it is my goal for each person who walks through my door to find support, empathy, and clinical expertise to achieve their mental health goals.

Has your life taken an unexpected detour? Maybe it's a chaotic relationship, unrelating anxiety or navigating difficult family dynamics. Whatever your struggles might be, fighting these battles on your own can be difficult, painful and sometimes overwhelming. However, there is an incredible amount of power in a strong therapeutic relationship where you can process life with someone who desires to fully understand you with a lens of compassion and empathy.
