Therapy is a spiritual journey to me. I see my role as the therapist to be the mirror to the client, reflecting back to them what I hear them saying about their own knowing, essence, passion, pain, and potential. It is my role as the therapist to sit with the client in the midst of his/her journey and allow him/her the opportunity to get to know and see him/herself, which ultimately leads to a process of loving his/herself. This is part of the soul journey: learning to love ourselves which indeed is a rewarding experience.

It's not a sales pitch when I say that I genuinely believe we all could benefit from seeing a therapist. It can be difficult to reach out for help when we need it, especially if we have been down the road of asking for help and not getting the help we need. Life simply is too difficult to go at it alone and therapy is a great way to begin the process of tackling what life throws at us head on. So whether you struggle with trauma, balancing life, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc. let's take the first steps into pursuing a healthier, growth oriented life.

Sometimes we lose ourselves when we get caught up in the way we think we "should" be in various relationships, workspaces, and societal expectations. Losing or ignoring who we truly are can lead to relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and general life dissatisfaction. "Losing ourselves" can happen due to traumatic life circumstances and/or years of unrelenting pressures. Let's get curious about your passions, work together to let go of what's not working, and build a roadmap so you can step in to a more authentic you.

When a person feels safe and heard then change and healing can occur. Change comes from understanding ourselves. Hurt people can get stuck in avoidant behaviors, such as using drugs or alcohol, anger and unhealthy relationships. Getting life back on track is complex, and no single approach is right for everyone. I have many tools to address addictions, PTSD, sexual trauma, anxiety and depression.

Especially in difficult times, it can be hard to find sources of acceptance, affirmation, and healing. Often the people closest to us - family, classmates, and co-workers, don't accept us for who we are. Perhaps we are gifted and see the world differently, in a new relationship and scared of old mistakes, navigating parenting or co-parenting, or are trying to better understand ourselves and our past. Whatever the reason, we also desire to be happy, whole, and loved - and especially to become something more than what we are. Trauma can hold us back at any age - creating negative habits and barriers to our success.
