I know that asking for help can feel like a burden sometimes. Do you feel like you have to be “everything” to everyone but feel alone when your in need? Are you struggling to say “no” then resent your yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Do you feel “stuck” after giving so much and then realize your not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or stuck about our next move.

The idea of exploring therapy can be difficult, confusing, and uncomfortable. It can also be your first step toward health, balance, and emotional freedom. You can achieve this from the privacy and comfort of your own home via telehealth. I have been helping individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process for over 18 years by identifying and changing unconscious beliefs that sabotage personal/relational success and emotional well being. My special interests and certifications are in informed trauma therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans mental health and telehealth.

Do you critique yourself, replay conversations over and over, or think of all the "what ifs"? Do you have difficulty saying "no" to things, or have a hard time being yourself around others? I work with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, and stress that is difficult to manage. We will work on coping skills, assertiveness, decision making, increasing self-worth, and setting boundaries with yourself and others. We will identify negative self-talk patterns and learn to reframe how you talk to yourself to increase self-compassion. Our work can also help foster more genuine connections with others.
