We live in stressful, changing, disconnected times. People are feeling exhausted, lonely, powerless and isolated. Many are filled with negative self talk. I help people realize what has kept them stuck and unfulfilled. Together we will develop a plan to remove those barriers so they can become the person they were intended to be; that they WANT to be. If you are tired of promising yourself that tomorrow will be different, let's begin your journey now. As Ernest Hemingway said, " Today is the only day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come will depend on what you do today."

Are racing thoughts and worrying keeping you up at night? Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Do you feel overwhelmed with emotional disturbance and have a hard time coping in a healthy way? Is your past trauma holding you back? It may be hard for you to relax. You may find it challenging to trust yourself or others. Relationships seem difficult to navigate. However, you don’t have to live with severe anxiety and unhappiness. You don’t have to be held back by what happened to you. Therapy can be a helpful way to learn healthy and effective coping skills, process emotions, get support, and work through trauma.

Feeling overwhelmed or dissatisfied with your life? If you have experienced trauma, whether recurring or as an isolated incident, sometimes the typical stresses of a normal day can provoke anxiety, fear, anger, or withdrawal. Therapy can give you the tools to deal with life's challenges and can enable you to minimize your stress levels while continuing your personal growth. I support you in exploring ways to increase happiness and well-being while you integrate lasting, positive changes in your relationships with others, and most importantly, with yourself.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. Now that you have taken the first big step in this process I would love to help you continue moving forward. If it is struggling with anxiety from the moment you wake up until the second you are finally able to fall asleep or feeling stuck in a relationship that you once thought gave you everything you wanted. Life can throw some difficult challenges at you and it can be so easy to get lost in survival mode just trying to get through the day.

You want to live a life that aligns with your values and desires, but more than ever, you feel lost and uncertain about who you truly are. Persisting self-doubt keeps you feeling anxious and isolated – and with that nagging sense of not fully belonging anywhere. You try your best to balance all the conflicting expectations others hold for you, but this only seems to leave you feeling exhausted, confused, and not enough. But you don’t have to stay here. With the right support, you can develop a more cohesive self-narrative, begin to experience true belonging, and get to know what makes you, you.
