Over the years, I have learned (often the hard way) that self-care has to be the priority. When we neglect ourselves and continue to pour and pour into everything and everyone else, at some point, we have nothing left. This is when burnout happens. I work with people who are tired of being tired, tired of feeling stuck, and ready to participate in their own healing; and I collaborate with them in discovering what is required to shift from surviving to thriving.
At Speak Life Psychotherapy, I provide a nonjudgmental environment that is safe and accepting of individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life, including those whose voices are not always heard and have often been pushed to the margins and made to feel invisible. My approach is culturally grounded, evidence based, health focused, and trauma informed.
My goal is to help you to create the best version of yourself. Whether the need is to heal from childhood trauma, lighten the weight of depression, regain control over anxiety, or simply receive support through a major life transition, I will meet you exactly where you are then partner with you on the journey to where you are called to be. Let's start today!
