I am a compassionate therapist who enjoys working with people of all ages and backgrounds.The decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one. This decision represents courage and the desire to have a more fulfilling life. Perhaps you are struggling with life challenges, loss or past trauma.

You just want to feel better but there are parts of you that keep you in this vicious cycle of negative beliefs, self-doubt, unproductive patterns, and overthinking. You may feel ashamed and alone as you’re faced with challenges and uncertainties at home, work, or in your relationships. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of your emotional pain from an unhappy childhood, stressful life experience, distressing memories, and/or unresolved issues. You are tired of living this way and you are ready to develop more compassion and empowerment to support yourself so that you can start feeling better, lighter, and more free.

Finding a therapist that you can relate to may be the most important part of therapy. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe and supported, so that you can open up and get the most out of your sessions. Sometimes starting this process can seem a little overwhelming. Maybe you're not sure where to begin with all of this. Maybe you're feeling a little anxious, or perhaps you suffer from "analysis paralysis." I've been there myself, and I'm here to help.

Are you a mom trying to navigate motherhood? Maybe you have just given birth and are in the thick of sleep deprivation and are wondering when you will be able to sleep again, or maybe you're navigating the complex territory of pregnancy loss or grief and the joy you anticipated feels difficult to find. Feelings of hopelessness, loss of identity, loneliness, anger, anxiety and depression are all crippling emotions experienced far too often in motherhood. Mama, please know that you are not alone.

The pain of grief can be overwhelming and unbearable at times. The loss of a loved one is probably one of the most difficult situations that we will experience in life, especially if you are struggling with symptoms of complicated grief, such as intense feelings of guilt or responsibility, nightmares or disturbing images, or extreme emotional dysregulation that interferes with your daily functioning. Sometimes thoughts, images and emotions have us "stuck" in our grief journey, and we need help working through these issues...

So, you've notice that "just making" it is no longer working, and you're exhausted with catering to the beliefs of others on how you should "show up". Let’s not forget how you have been working hard to manage your anxiousness and moods, while fighting the frustrations of life. Maybe you are having difficulty concentrating or remaining focused, and as a result you find yourself in isolation, while feeling that no one cares. As you live with thoughts that are overwhelming & cause anxiety about life, it may feel easier to give up. Please don't. There is hope. Contact me to see what hope can look like authentically.

We often hear, "Life is a journey." I believe this thought is the foundation of all that we do, as there are many experiences that are instrumental in shaping the course of your life. At times, a different course might be better. In counseling, there is guidance in understanding the 'direction' of your life and living according to your values. When the course of our life is at odds with our values there are depression, anxiety, and/or family issues. Let me help today, let your journey begin anew.

Are you over the feeling of being stuck in your head and tired all the time from your mind running in too many directions? Sometimes this looks like anxiety, stress, irritability, amoung many others; however, it could also be underlying trauma. Trauma comes in many forms and looks different for each person because of our bodys' various responses to outside experiences. We don't get a say in whether we want to take on an event as traumatic or not, but we do have the power to overcome what happens to us and find our purpose and meaning in life again.

I understand that counseling is a very personal experience, and it is important that you feel comfortable discussing your thoughts and feelings with me in an environment that is safe, accepting and non-judgmental.
