Are you having relationship difficulties? Do you feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed? Do you often find yourself uncertain of where these emotions are coming from? Perhaps you looking for someone you can go to for support? I can help. I aspire to create a therapy space that feels safe. It can be difficult to feel comfortable when opening up to someone and telling your story. I use humor and shared interests to create a therapeutic relationship. Call for a consultation and together we can add power and control back into your life.
I use a curious approach in therapy and through self-exploration to learn about your life. You are the one with the knowledge of your life and I am there to guide you to realization. Gaining insight and realization can reduce depressive, anxious, or traumatic symptoms.
I work with anyone who has experienced emotional, physical, sexual abuse or victimization who may experience feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. I find it helpful in therapy to help you find happiness to overcome your trauma. You can schedule by phone, email or website.
