Life has a way of throwing obstacles (trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, etc.) in your path and for some reason we feel the need to control these obstacles. Guess what, encountering obstacles in life doesn't make you weak or a bad person - it makes you human. Regardless of the situation or circumstances, everyone has the capacity to get through life's difficulties. If you allow me to take this journey with you, I'll help you channel your resources, build off your number one strength (yourself) and help you transition from attempting to control problems to finding balance by learning how to manage them instead.

Your sense of well-being, including mental and emotional health, is a vital part of your overall health and thriving and benefits from care and attention. Thinking "Hey, maybe I could use therapy," is pivotal. Usually it's pain, suffering, confusion, difficult emotions, and things just not going right that bring us to therapy. AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in needing or wanting support, or participating in therapy. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.
