My ultimate aim is to teach clients to become their own therapist. I facilitate self-reflection to gain insight into maladaptive thoughts and behaviors. I foster self-compassion, coping skills, and mental fortitude in facing stressors, problems, and crises. I believe in empowering clients to make positive changes beyond the near future and build resilience in facing challenges for a lifetime.

Everyone from the outside thinks you are living the perfect life; little do they know how much you are struggling on the inside. Struggling with trying to live by the “SHOULD’S” in your head, the rules, the expectations, running through your mind. No one, including those closest to you, notice the stress you are experiencing. Everyday you wake up wishing you can enjoy life free of the constant worry, without feeling a sense of anxiety and depression. By releasing some of these expectations and “should’s” you can enjoy life and cherish the small moments with the people you care about the most.

We are simply living in uncertain times where our lives are being forced into a new way of being. At times, it seems we have few choices and possibilities which can lead to feelings of doubt, worry, intense sadness, restlessness, self-blame, frustration and/or a sense of not being fully alive. Simply said, feeling unhappy. Therapy/counseling offers an avenue to understand what is happening to us emotionally and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. It is a choice to find a way to come out of this period of time as a better version of our selves than we started.
