On life's journey there can be bumps, hills and mountains for us to climb. At times, that climb may feel impossible and you may feel unable to do it alone. Reaching out for someone to help you move forward is not easy, it takes courage and strength. I would be honored to help you climb those bumps, hills and mountains. Together we can discover what you need to find inner peace and contentment.

Therapy is an opportunity to cultivate resilience and wisdom to develop more balance and fulfillment in your life. I focus on creating a healing space to express your emotions, understand how your life experiences have impacted you, reflect on your behavior and choices, consider new perspectives, and develop personalized tools to navigate your life with more confidence.

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.

Current evening and weekend openings! Navigating life’s day to day challenges can be difficult at times. Circumstances and relationships can be complicated and bring about feelings of anxiousness, sadness or just being unsure of what to do next. Trying to navigate these challenges on our own can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and alone. Therapy can be an effective tool that provides the support you need to help you find balance, gain insight, build confidence and feel empowered to develop new skills and make positive changes.

Many people struggle with substance use, depression, anxiety, stress, life changes or relationship difficulties, but don't have the skills or support needed to handle them in a healthy way. Counseling is simply a time for personal reflection with a professional who can help guide you towards positive growth and change. During counseling sessions, I will help you explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive environment, providing you the insight and awareness needed to move forward, instead of feeling stuck or helpless. Remember, you don't have to go through life's difficult situations alone.

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.
