Life is beautiful! But the human experience can also be painful and difficult. Are you longing for peace and emotional well-being? Do you desire to make changes in your life, gain a new perspective, and heal? Anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, guilt, shame, and broken relationships can take a toll on the mind and body. I believe that restoration, wholeness, and health are possible. Sometimes we all need a radically non-judgmental ally to hear us, understand us, offer support and insight, and help equip us with the tools we need to live our best lives.

Are you having difficulty maintaining a work life balance? Do you feel mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted after school each day? You have the degree (probably multiple) and your experience in the classroom, but you don’t feel the same passion for teaching you once did. You may be fed up with feeling underappreciated and tired of constantly taking work home. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel so burnt out at the end of every day. Something is telling you that you need to make a shift. You want to set some boundaries, and stick to them!

We were never meant to do life alone... and when we find ourselves in a place of feeling alone, it can be incredibly painful. My practice is informed by the belief that the greatest healing happens in the context of relationships- and that in order to experience true comfort and healing, we have to compassionately connect with the very things that are bringing us discomfort. When engaging in our therapy space, we (both me and those I serve) show up as our imperfect and vulnerable selves- knowing that we are worthy of connection, worthy of belonging, and worthy of the courageous work that we engage in together.

I have openings! If you were told you did not matter growing up, through actions or words, this will have an impact on your ability to recognize your worth. Growing up in a home with alcohol abuse, homophobia, emotional abuse, or excessive criticism can lead to feelings of worthlessness, shame, and self hatred. You may seek validation from others and fear their disapproval. This often leads to putting others needs before your own. Not understanding your worth, you may struggle following your dreams or have a career where you feel overworked and under valued. Let's flip the script, heal your wounds, and accept the person you are.

My target community or population are those people living with disabilities, particularly those of the amputee population.. Many people living in today’s society are facing health issues, which could affect their quality of life, and how the adaptation of a life changing event may result in grief, depression, stigmatization, and isolation, due to the inability to receive appropriate mental health services and counseling, to assist in navigating through the changes which may cause feelings or despair and hopelessness.
