Therapy is a journey towards self-discovery, empowerment, and balance. Do you ever feel that you may be getting in the way of yourself in your efforts to live a rich and fulfilling life? Maybe you feel unmotivated or disconnected from a sense of joy. Life can be stressful with unexpected changes, relationship struggles, grief and loss, life transitions, sexual identity issues, social struggles, and current or previous trauma disrupting your day-to-day functioning. This often creates an out-of-control feeling with your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors.

You are overwhelmed by everything that is expected of you, even from yourself. You rush from one thing to another to try to get everything done but the list keeps growing. It seems like other people have figured it out and you are alone. You are constantly worrying about work, family, and friends. Everything says to take time for yourself and self-care this or self-care that but how? This isn’t how being an adult was supposed to be. Overall, compared to some other people, your life really isn’t "that bad" so why is it so hard for you to get things done or be happy?

When life becomes difficult, it can help to talk with a caring, seasoned therapist. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere and will help you deal with the distress that is challenging and pulling you down.

Life can be overwhelming. It throws you curve balls, and sometimes it just feels hard to navigate. Maybe it’s a divorce, job change, becoming a parent, death in the family, or any other life transition. Life can bring us baggage and even though we think we have it contained, it can seep into other areas of our life that we are trying to navigate through. I work with people who want to understand themselves better so they can continue to thrive in life. I want to help empower you to find balance within yourself and learn to fine tune your ability to respond to situation in which you feel in control with better balance and regulation.

As a licensed professional counselor with a background in trauma focused cognitive therapy, I like to examine situations to identify any areas within our control.
Going through life, what we experience is only a small percentage of what is happening to us and a large majority of how we perceive it. If you're experiencing a life transition, anxiety, depression, parenting stressors, relationship concerns, career difficulties or trauma, I can provide therapy to help frame your thought process in a way that leads you to feeling your best. Sometimes all we need is to be validated in our feelings, other times we need challenges to see things a little differently. My goal is to figure out which works best for you so you are not facing these challenges alone.

I will focus on how emotions and negative thoughts impact your overall wellbeing and find solutions to get out of these cycles! I am trauma focused trained and well versed in the LGBTQ+ culture.
At times, life can feel overwhelming. As if you are just going through the motions of day-to-day life. Many times you do not even recognize it until life becomes too hard and the task you once enjoyed, now takes all of your energy. My role as your therapist is to help you sort out negative emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that leave you feeling as if you are running on auto pilot. Together we will work on identifying unhealthy patterns in our thoughts and reactions, we will dig deep into our emotions and being, as well as develop techniques and skills to feel in control and stable.
