Life can be like a ship out at sea. It can be a beautiful and peaceful experience, but it can also be overwhelming, scary, and filled with unknowns. Maybe you’re feeling lost or in the middle of a storm, and need some help finding your way. I want to be the person to help you. I once was told that as the client, you are the captain, and as the counselor, I am the navigator; I have the tools and maps that can help you and guide you but you make the decisions about where we go and what we focus on in the counseling space.

Do you feel like an imposter? Does it feel like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't? Are you trying to overcome the effects of trauma, whether from a major life event, or from many smaller things throughout your life that have eaten away at your self-esteem? I'm guessing that you have many negative beliefs about yourself that you know, logically, aren't true. It's really hard to turn that logic into true belief about your worth as a human being, though. I can help you to go from just knowing in your head that you're worthy of love and a fulfilling life to truly believing it deep down. That makes a huge difference!

Many people I work with are doing their best to keep it together, but inside they feel overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in overthinking. This may show up as irritability (even when you don't mean it), insomnia, difficulty trusting yourself, not doing the things you used to love, or conflict at home or in relationships. I offer a space to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and build skills that help you feel like you can navigate any life stressor...even when it sucks.

You are worthy of healing, even when your inner-critic says otherwise. If you are experiencing anxiety, you know that it is much more complex than excessive worrying. Often negative self-talk, guilt, self-doubt, and fear also run rampant, making it difficult to get through your day. On the outside, your loved ones or colleagues may think you have it together, but internally you are struggling. Trying to control everything around you - while at the same time feeling out of control leaves you exhausted and on edge.
