Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I know there must be a million thoughts running through your brain right now. Sometimes our thoughts can feel like they are on an out-of-control highway or racetrack. We may not know which direction to take, which flag to fly or which repair to begin with. I want to congratulate you on taking that first step: researching who can you talk to. Now, let's chat and figure out what our next steps are. Remember; if you're not speaking it, you're storing it and that gets heavy.

I understand that it takes a great deal of courage to be vulnerable to others. Some of our life experiences can leave us with feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and self-doubt. Our responses to suffering and how we try to protect ourselves to avoid future pain can leave us feeling stuck. Despite our best efforts to change, obstacles can be difficult to overcome. I am dedicated to helping you heal, replace harsh self-talk with self-compassion, and connect to the internal strength you already have.

Everyone faces difficulties in life. These difficulties can be experienced as disappointment, challenge, adversity, or trauma. People cope with their struggles the best that they can with the resources they have available. When these difficult situations cause a person to have problems functioning, attaining their goals, or feeling satisfied with their life it can be helpful to work with a professional mental health therapist. This can help by having someone to talk with about their difficulties, especially if it is something traumatic that they struggle to share with other people in their life.
