Existing as a human being these days can be rough. "Existing" translates into "not living fully." This is no fun for anybody. Many individuals suffer from uncomfortable symptoms leading to feelings of sadness, irritability, or fatigue. Others experience trouble concentrating, racing or negative thoughts, and even difficulty breathing. You are not alone in this complicated world; it's easy to get off course and/or it can be difficult to find your way due to various roadblocks. It may help to work with a person outside your friend & family groups in an effort to gain a fresh perspective, to be seen with unbiased, non-judgmental eyes.

My ideal client is someone who may not be familiar with therapy but is open and eager to try it out. The ideal client would be a BIPOC individual seeking support on their healing journey. Someone who may have experienced trauma in their lives and is looking for a space where they can unpack, learn skills, psycho-education, explore, and express themselves in an inclusive environment.

You do not have to deal with issues alone. Speaking with someone can be relieving if you allow the experience to be. To be aware is to be alive, you don't have to control your thoughts, you just have to stop letting your thoughts control you.

Maybe you woke up today & said, "shit, I really need to find a therapist." Maybe you've said that many mornings. Perhaps you find yourself repeating the same cycles and wanting to stop, yet you keep spinning. Cycles of all types - anxiety, depression, self-sabotage, addiction, trauma and more. It leaks into different areas of your life - work, relationships, self-esteem...and it’s exhausting. Maybe you feel stretched thin, like butter scraped over too much bread. You want to feel more at peace, to have better relationships, and to understand more yourself. Luckily, therapy can help get you there.

I believe all individuals have the capacity for change and can develop the tools to discover their purpose. I strive to create a space for clients where they explore what keeps them stuck in their old patterns, learning to make changes that allow them to discover personal meaning. I appreciate the strength and vulnerability it takes to engage in the therapeutic process.

Finding the right fit with your therapist may not always be easy, but it’s entirely worth it. Your success in treatment depends on the work you put in and the relationship with your therapist - that’s why I really focus on our connection first and foremost. Maybe in another life we could be pals, but I am more honored to be a part of your therapy journey!

Life can be hard sometimes. Situations, circumstances and relationships can seem to be overwhelming or even impossible to handle. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, to be a support through the difficult times, to help us sort things out, and to learn more healthy positive ways of overcoming these situations.

Everyone experiences life differently, but one thing that we all have in common is that we don't feel our best all of the time. I believe that each person has the ability to improve the way that they're feeling. I want to learn what your strengths are so that together we can find skills that will empower you and help you to move closer to where you want to be.
