Do you find yourself worrying a lot or feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions that you become stuck and stagnant? Do you put a lot of pressure on yourself that you feel like a failure or are failing? Do you feel like parts of life are falling apart and no one understands? Well life can be overwhelming and leave you with so much uncertainty about ourselves, relationships, career, parenthood, and life situations that we become depressed, anxious, stressed out, and stuck about our next move.

You don't have to continue feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship or self issues. Effective psychotherapy helps most people deal with these problems and in many cases provides a life altering experience. I have an extensive background treating a wide variety of problems in a safe and congenial atmosphere.

Life's challenges can be so overwhelming that it leaves us feeling angry, anxious, misunderstood, stressed, and even discouraged about the future. I provide a warm and safe environment where we discover together how to best address these challenges so you are able to feel ease and fulfillment in your life. I promote a caring and respectful therapeutic relationship.

Are you stuck in unhelpful mind or behavior patterns, difficult times in a relationship or stressed in a way that is affecting all of the above? I believe that we all possess the resources to experience ourselves "new and improved" and move toward being the best that we can be. We know what has worked for us and what hasn't. Finding ways to make lasting changes and experience relief that is tailored to who YOU are, is my commitment to you. It will be an exciting journey into self-discovery, relief of unwanted symptoms and new confidence.

What is it for you...Is it the lack of motivation? The over-thinking? The never feeling good enough or need to be perfect? The “I don’t know who I am?” The loss of identity? The failed or lack of relationship/s? The hopelessness? The unexplained sadness? The lack of support? School Stress? Well sometimes growing up or even life can be very overwhelming and the desperation to feel better as you navigate through can leave you feeling stuck and lost on your next decision/move.

Through our work together, I will support you toward gaining insight into the roots of your challenges, and help empower you to move forward toward more peace and fulfillment. I believe that with appropriate support, we are all capable of finding solutions to our own problems. Therefore, I see my role as one of a guide or facilitator. I have extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, and families facing challenges including depression and anxiety, major life transitions, relationship conflict, family-of-origin issues, setting and achieving life goals, parenting, and more.

Welcome! I particularly enjoy working with kids, teens, and adults who have a history of big emotions, and are looking for more insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. Maybe it seems like everything is against you or that life will never get better, or that everyone else seems to have it together except you. Perhaps you have struggled for a long time with controlling your impulses, relationships never seem to stick, and chaos and crisis seems to follow you wherever you go. We can process and relieve feelings such as shame, distrust, overwhelm, panic, irritability, anger, and depression without judgement.

Are you overwhelmed by work, school, or family? Does the thought of what is coming next make you feel panicked or stressed? Work, school, and family stressors can compromise our mental health. If you are experiencing chronic stress from work, school or family, it may lead to burnout. Being overwhelmed can lead to symptoms like exhaustion, negative feelings, feeling low or down. Stress affects us mentally, emotionally, and physically. Psychotherapy can address thoughts, feelings, moods, and negative thinking patterns and teach you skills to manage life. Are you ready to start to manage your life and work through those stressors?

Do you need to feel safe? Do you prefer a therapist who understands and recognizes the developmental stages of children, adolescents, and adults? Whether supporting children through challenging transitions, assisting adolescents in navigating identity and self-esteem issues, or helping adults cope with life's complexities, my goal is to empower my clients to overcome obstacles and thrive. As a therapist, I am deeply committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by my clients, and I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where healing and growth can occur.

Therapy is a collaborative process. I understand there are many times in our lives when we need more support to help with a transition, a loss, a relationship, or a child. My approach is to assist you in gaining insight and awareness around issues that impact you in your life. I focus on the development of coping strategies, improving communication skills, and resolving conflict related to work, family, and in relationships. It is my belief that therapy in a safe, supportive, respectful environment can empower someone to find their voice and regain balance.

Thank you for visiting my profile page. I hope that you will allow me to help you improve your life.

Is your mind spinning with worries and endless "to-do" lists? Are you critical of yourself and you never feel good enough? If you have lost touch with who you really are or what you really want out of life, counseling can help you find yourself. If you are someone who usually takes care of everyone else, let me help you start taking care of yourself as well. My clients are regular, everyday women who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and difficult life transitions.

Deciding to reach out to a therapist is not an easy task. It is normal to feel anxious about seeking help and trusting another person. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide an atmosphere in therapy that feels safe and accepting. I use a solution-focused approach to help you reach your goals. I offer practical solutions while also providing insight and support and incorporate various cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques as well. My goal for you is to find relief for the issues you are facing so that you may lead a happy and productive life.

However you come into my office, whether in crisis or stuck or angry and hurting, my commitment is to see and relate to you through the eyes of your potential. The very nature of relationships sets us up for conflict and disillusionment. We change as human beings, and so must our most intimate partnerships. Marriage counseling allows us to discover your strengths and successes and at the same time practice saying the things that are scary and uncomfortable. This is how we rekindle authenticity and trust and hope. You’ll find me to be both supportive and directive. I’m an active therapist who gets in it with you.

I am a very compassionate and empathetic therapist that values the importance of a positive client-therapist relationship. I work to create a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere in which healing and self-exploration can occur. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and knowledgeable about specific topics such as exploring relationships, gender, sexuality, coming out, and transitioning. I particularly enjoy working with clients who would like to find out more about their true selves and their place in the world.

The goal of my practice is to provide quality mental health services in a caring and compassionate environment. I work with teens, adults, and families with a broad range of clinical issues, including anxiety and depression, overwhelming stress, low self esteem, relationship problems, trauma, grief and difficult life transitions.

I understand that there are many things in life that influence us and take a toll on our emotional well-being. I believe that with effective support, guidance and understanding, you have the ability to not only find the answers to your problems, but the strength to make positive changes in your life. Expressive Therapy Center offers a family-focused and individualized approach that is unique to each client and his or her family's needs.

Healing Her, LLC was created to provide a safe and therapeutic space for you to heal. At Healing Her, we believe that healing starts within. Even though the wounded pieces of us may have occurred from external factors, our relationship with self is often greatly impacted by those experiences. As a result, those wounds become behaviors which either moves us forward, sets us back or keeps us stuck. Our mission is to help you process those wounds effectively and provide impactful coping tools so you can lead a life you love and enjoy.
