Having someone to walk alongside you in your journey to psychological/emotional health can move you from surviving into thriving. Navigating life can be stressful, overwhelming, and at times painful. Dealing with difficulties like life transitions, stress, managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or making seemingly impossibly difficult decisions, all the while trying to maintaining positive self-esteem and finding helpful ways to cope with life demands, is a really hard thing to do. Feeling close to the people we love can feel hard when we struggle to find the ability to be vulnerable in a tough world.
I will use effective & practical therapeutic strategies to help you explore and process your experiences as we challenge and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns/beliefs that can cause you to feel you are stuck with a status quo life. With insight to understand problems, consciousness of attachment styles & patterns, you can thrive in life & love.
I have shared, lived experience in navigating a world present with stigmas and biases that at times can feel unfair and overwhelming while maintaining a healthy self-concept and practicing self-compassion. If you are ready to begin the work to self-discovery or are curious about the process, feel free to invite me on your journey to feeling more empowered.
