Do you struggle with conflicting life demands while feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you find yourself feeling unhappy with yourself and with your relationships? Feel like you forgot who you are at some point along the way, with a harsh inner critic that tells you that you aren’t good enough? You are not alone. Asking for help is brave, and prioritizing your mental health has profound impacts on your life, relationships, and view of yourself.
I have worked in integrative healthcare for 8 years. I'm a person-centered therapist and kind human being, incorporating mindfulness, talk-therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR & techniques from Narrative, Gottman method, & Solution Focused approaches. I will help you to put a plan in place that will help you move forward, while celebrating your successes along the way.
When you have felt stuck for a long time, starting can be difficult. I encourage you to reach out. I believe that building a safe therapeutic relationship with you is the foundation to your healing journey, and I work with you to find the approach best suited to your needs and preferences. Book a free 15 minute consult to get started!
