I'm a compassionate, concerned and empathetic therapist who wants to provide you "armor to go out and fight your life battles." More times than not, life and its stressors cause depression, anxiety, relationship issues, etc., that can make it difficult to function in everyday settings such as work and with family during interactions. I strive to provide counseling to help you move closer towards your goals and decrease/eliminate the severity of your symptoms.

Change can be difficult for everyone, and it can certainly be hard to navigate and overwhelming. Are you trying to determine your next move in life? Are you struggling to find peace of mind? Life can beat you down in so many ways, whether it’s a stressful work environment, relationship turmoil, life transitions and/or overall mental health. Often, we are products of our environments, and it is vital to understand the influence that it has held in your life.

Let's talk about why things are so hard. Why you're doing the same old thing day in and day out despite wanting to change. Why you're waking up and wishing that the pills you took the night before had actually worked. Why in spite of all the things you've done to try and recover from your eating disorder or addiction, you feel like you've made no progress. Let's get down to the root of things and face them head on; if you're ready to get to work, I'm ready to help you!

When it comes to finding the right therapist, it can be really stressful and overwhelming especially for someone who has never had mental health services before. You may be dealing with work-life stress, noticed depression or anxiety symptoms that have started to affect your ability to get through the day and don't know how to ask or even look for help. I have over seven years of experience working with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, anger management, and trauma and helping them identify personal goals for themselves to minimize these debilitating symptoms that can be quite consuming.

Mommy issues? A mother having difficulties with mothering? Difficultly with becoming a mother?... “Mothers are smiles and hugs and caring, but most of all, they’re love”... "A mother's love liberates..." “Life doesn't come with a manual. It comes with a mother..." “Mother is a verb. It's something you do. Not just who you are...” Do quotes like these bring up a multitude of feelings, some visceral? Because these quotes do not embody the experience that you had of being mothered? Or because you are trying to be the mother that these quotes embody but are feeling inadequate?
