Hello, and welcome! If you are here, you're likely ready to make a change, and may not be sure how to start. As humans, we sometimes find ourselves in painful cycles of disconnection - made worse by agonizing experiences of depression, anxiety, or simply not knowing how to change course. It is painful when we feel cut off or distant from ourselves and the relationships that matter most - especially when we're struggling. You deserve to find that long-overdue joy and peace that you and your relationships are craving. I believe there are ways out of the cycles, and back to reconnection.

If you woke up tomorrow and it was YOUR perfect life, what would it look like? As you're imagining this, what are the differences between this imagined life and the one you're currently living? You may feel stuck, unfulfilled, or alone even, with lingering questions that may leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and lost. Life has an interesting way of putting us in places and spaces that both challenge and change us in ways unimaginable, seemingly out of our control. Let's move you from being a spectator to a participant in your life story by getting uncomfortable, facing fears, and taking space to grow and heal.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to bet at least 51% on themselves and their healing journey. You don't have to have everything together or pretend as if you do. Heck, we'll spend at least two sessions diving past that and exploring the root of whichever topic brings you to counseling. With me as your therapist, I want you as you are, with a bit of hope that we can make it through this obstacle!

Many people can be too hard and not kind enough to themselves. Life is difficult enough, and not being on their own side through their struggles makes it even more so. Whether you’re new to therapy or have some experience with it, starting with a new therapist can be overwhelming. I invite you to a warm, inviting space where you are able to show your full self. I tend to use a holistic and integrative approach. Your sessions are your time and I will meet you where you’re at while providing a therapist viewpoint.

Trauma can create layers within us, often leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves. Acknowledging and nurturing those parts is crucial for genuine healing. Trauma-informed care emphasizes understanding and compassion, recognizing that our past experiences shape our present selves. By exploring our decisions and the beliefs we've formed, we can begin to untangle the complexities of our inner worlds. This process isn’t always easy, but it can lead to profound growth and resilience. Healing is a beautiful goal, and it reminds us that healing is not just about moving on, but reclaiming what we feel was lost.
