When we feel stuck, trapped or insecure about our life, it can be hard to be motivated for change. Whether it is a relationship, a job, or simply just not knowing what to do with the thoughts that come into your head, there is empowerment within yourself for change. You may have recognized that your coping strategies have led to destructive patterns in your life. However, this is not the end for you, but a beginning to rewriting your story and your pathway to your best life. Let’s work together toward a plan with action steps that will empower you to create productive coping strategies that will accomplish your life's goals.

I think many of us just want to be heard and understood for the most part, and from there maybe we can find some healing and growth. Whether its sadness, anxiety, relational challenges, addiction, lack of motivation, etc., I believe these often stem from some sort of trauma and/or loss of connection with ourselves or others. It can leave us feeling absolutely defeated, hopeless and horribly alone. Where do we go from there, where do we start from? Can we come back in touch with something that feels alive, fulfilling and connective? This is a deeply personal process and I believe the answers are much closer than we sometimes imagine!

Counseling is conducted in a professional manner by a trained therapist who aims to ameliorate the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of a person, couple, family, or group. A therapist works to address, alleviate, and assist their client in managing and overcoming (if possible) the psychopathological symptoms manifesting in the client’s relational, social, and cognitive life. A client who shows up and is willing to put the work in, to effectuate the therapeutic change in their lives, will be better off than when they started therapy with me.
