One of the bravest things one can do is ask for help or support. Whether this is your first time seeking out therapy or you have dabbled before, congratulations on taking this step! Perhaps you have experienced a trauma, loss, are dealing with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, are LGBTQIA+, or are simply looking to live life as your most authentic self. Maybe you are going through a life transition, having relationship issues, or maybe you just want to start building a therapeutic connection. Regardless of the WHY, you deserve a safe, judgement-free space to begin this journey. Take a deep breath. Let's begin.

Sometimes it can be hard to see life's hurdles as an opportunity to understand ourselves better, yet life is full of these painful, frustrating and uncomfortable experiences. Sometimes they are traumatic. Sometimes next steps are unclear or you've lost your voice and maybe you feel frozen or overwhelmed or uncertain. You want to speak up for yourself. You want to start moving through life again.

In the current environment, it is more important than ever to prioritize your mental health and emotional well-being. When the demand of our lives becomes overwhelming at times we can feel trapped and powerless. Often we will ignore or seek to avoid our emotional pain rather than address it. Regardless of the challenges you are facing in life, positive change is always possible. In my work as an LMHC I help individuals approach their emotional pain and experiences in a way that reduces their suffering and aids in promoting personal well-being through the use of mindfulness-based therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
