What we know for sure is that life is beautifully complex. No one is exempt from new challenges, life transitions, pain or conflict. While past experiences influence the present, what happens to you does not have to dictate your overall quality of life. Emotional wellness requires dedicated attention and a commitment to being and doing better. When we begin to see challenges as purposeful moments urging us to learn, heal, grow and evolve, we can begin to accept, and even honor, our circumstances. How do you do that? Well, my goal is to empower you by providing guidance, tools and insights to lead an emotionally healthy life.

I have always been passionate about helping people find solutions to complex problems. As a therapist, I help you find the clarity you need to make big decisions, navigate life transitions, and process emotionally difficult experiences. I have experience in outpatient therapy clinics as well as experience in residential settings with people who are living with PTSD. Our initial session will be a discussion about what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to change. Our work will be collaborative; you will have choice and autonomy along the way.

Do you struggle with people-pleasing tendencies that affect your relationships with others? Do you tend to put others' feelings and needs before your own? Do you struggle with setting boundaries and often avoid conflict? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the need to “do it all”. Putting others' needs before your own and not taking care of yourself can lead to long-term negative effects on your physical and mental health. I believe that there is hope and encourage others to “fill their cup”!

Everyone is responsible for protecting and nurturing their mental health. Navigating through difficult life experiences can manifest stress, unhappiness, anxiety, anger, etc. Sometimes, we develop harmful ways to cope with these life experiences such as isolating ourselves, lashing out at others, abusing substances, among other things. It can be difficult to take the first step and reach out for therapy/counseling. However, taking that first step means that you're prepared to figure out how you can improve your circumstance and move forward. It's my mission to offer you support through your process of achieving mental wellness!
