Are you going through a significant life transition or dealing with loss? Maybe you are questioning your choices and consider yourself an "overthinker". Have you found yourself not participating in activities you used to enjoy? It feels like things are going well, but you are not feeling content. These are common issues rhe individuals I work with. I want to support you in reaching your goals and increasing your ability to handle the stressors in your life. You are able to make the necessary changes and find success, allow me to help you discover and tap into your potential to create the life you want.
I describe therapy as a engaging and supportive process where you are an active participant in the work and I am walking with you in this journey. I work with adults and older teens and have training in working with the LGBTQIA+ community. If you have a history of adverse life experiences, we can utilize EMDR to help you process the trauma and move forward.
You have been pushing forward for too long in a life that is not bringing you joy. Consider reaching out today and allow me to help you begin focusing on yourself and enjoying the beautiful parts of your life.
