Do you find yourself feeling anxious, lonely, or sad? Do you have unexplained physical pain that you can't seem to get rid of? Do you wonder whether past trauma or abuse may be causing some of these issues? Maybe you are pregnant, or you are a parent dealing with young children. Those can be very stressful times and it can disrupt all your other relationships as you navigate new roles. As we go through difficult life changes, it becomes so important to survey our lives and ask ourselves what we are doing to take care of our own mental health.
I strive to provide a space where people can feel open and free to let go and release some of the pain they have been hanging on to. My goal is to help my clients heal in a space that is free of judgement or blame. There are so many ways to approach healing and I enjoy curating therapy for each individual person.
As hard as it can be to ask for support for yourself, it's vital for all of us to do at some point in our lives. I am a big believer in that we don't have to heal all by ourselves, but in community with others. My goal is to listen to my clients without judgement and help them learn to cope with life's challenges. Please reach out if you are ready to heal.
