Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Have you lost someone or something important in your life? Perhaps you’ve experienced an unwanted change or one that is not what you anticipated. From losing a loved one to changes in relationships, career , or other life circumstances, life can feel harder than it once was. Sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling “stuck” make it difficult to cope and move forward. It can feel like no one sees or understands your struggles. But there is hope. As a therapist who has navigated my own life transitions, I support you in finding your way through this wilderness experience. Together we will work on a plan to help you adjust and grow.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I have worked in both clinical and community settings with individuals, families, children, and youth from various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength of the people I have worked with.
