Life is a journey, full of complex relationships and events that we all strive to understand and live with. Life can become complicated by traumas and relationships, as well as from internal struggles, such as anxiety or depression. Without help, these complications can leave us struggling to cope. I believe we all deserve happiness and understanding as we travel this journey, whatever complexities we face.

Hello! Reaching out can be hard. I am glad that you have decided to take the first step in improving the quality of your life. Therapy does not mean you are broken. Rather, it suggests that you have encountered one of life’s challenges and would like some help with clarification of the problem, understanding what is needed, and learning some new skills to help you handle it. Everyone has a unique story and one-size treatment does not fit all. When you come to therapy, I will listen to you, collaborate with you, challenge you and support you in reaching your goals.

We live in a world quickly changing with many demands and stressors. Therapy is like working out at a gym. Instead, it is building inner strength and emotional fitness. Traumas or events can happen in life leading to a dysregulated nervous system. We can experience the loss of a job, partner, or identity; the loss of a loved one or pet; disease, illness, financial instability; relationship or family issues, or housing crisis that spin our worlds upside down. Maybe it is low self-worth, stress, or feeling stuck in life. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I am here to be a supportive ally for your growth.
