I'm glad you're here, taking the first brave steps towards healing. I know it can be overwhelming at the beginning. But if you'll let me I'd really like to join you on your journey to feeling better about your life. My style is eclectic (using several methods) because I believe therapy should be tailored for every individual. I want to make your healing & self discover experience all about you, not a system. You're in charge of how fast we go, where we go & when you need to rest. I simply journey beside you as a trusted source of perspective & insight. Helping to reframe or see an issue from a different view point.

Do you feel like there is a boulder sitting on your chest and you can't seem to catch your breath? Do you ever feel like there’s so much to do and not enough time to get it all done? Previously, substance use was helping you manage the symptoms of anxiety and stress and now it's making them worse. Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? It can be scary to reach out for support when life becomes uncomfortable or out of control. I understand that fear of judgment can be overwhelming, but I’m here to provide a safe space where you can address your discomfort and find ways to manage anxiety, stress, and substance use.

Navigating life and relationships can be challenging, exhausting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. In a world where one is constantly connected through social media, increasingly, we can feel isolated and alone as we strive to meet relationship and work demands, while living up to our own personal and relational expectations. In seasons of uncertainty, it is normal to feel a sense of spinning out of control, and struggling with where do I go from here? The thought of therapy can be scary, which is why I am committed to creating an environment of trust and understanding.

I believe therapy allows people to share their stories and feel their emotions in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored).
