If you are looking to start therapy for the first time, continue after years of experience, or need help managing stress, anxiety, or life in general, please reach out to me or find another therapist on our website at CFC Therapy Group.
I recognize that, at times, people may feel hesitant to engage in therapy. Entering any process of change and growth can feel overwhelming whether facing life transitions, anxiety, depression, overall stress, and more. I want to work with my clients to help them reach a place in which they feel confident in acknowledging their emotions and thoughts openly and without judgment. I want to work collaboratively to develop their goals and work on change in a way that feels manageable and encouraging.

Let’s face it, life can be tough. This may be one of those challenging times for you. You may be struggling to make peace with a situation/event, dealing with relationship issues, or perhaps you have a general sense of not feeling quite like yourself. Despite your challenges, I believe growth and healing is possible for you.

Embrace the adventure of adulthood, even when it's filled with worry, the pursuit of perfection, and stress! Living in the shadow of a pandemic, stepping into college or the workforce, it's completely normal if these pressures make you feel overwhelmed. But, rather than being stuck in the endless cycle of 'what-ifs', let's shift the focus towards the 'what-nows'. In a post-COVID world, if you're asking, "Am I ready to be an adult? I’m behind. How can I navigate the world?" remember, you're far from alone. Worries, striving for perfection, dealing with stress – they're all part of the journey, but you don't have to do it alone.

Do you struggle with anxiety that is starting to affect your day-to-day life? Has trauma interfered with your ability to function? Do you feel exhausted by just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life could feel better? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed by the idea that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Not addressing the challenges in your life can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself or others, falling behind at work/school, and general feelings of stress. I firmly believe that people can evolve and that there is hope for everyone to reach their fullest potential.

Sometimes we need the kind of help that comes from talking to a professional who is a compassionate and skilled listener. My approach to psychotherapy involves a collaborative relationship with opportunities for you to know and understand yourself better, work through deeper issues and difficult emotions caused by experiences in relationships (past/present), and manage stress effectively. All of this allows you to live your life more fully. I also offer mindfulness skills and meditation practices, which promote healing in the body, alleviate anxiety and depression, and help one cope with stress adaptively.

I'm also skilled in working with clients who have chronic illnesses, such as gastrointestinal disorders and chronic migraines, and helping these individuals understand and manage the relationship between stress, lifestyle, and symptoms.
Therapy can be overwhelming and even daunting at times. I recognize this challenge and the strength it takes to look at oneself, which is why I strive to create a safe and collaborative therapeutic environment. I value the therapeutic relationship and view this as a supportive opportunity to be open and honest with another person and explore difficult life events. During the therapeutic process, I help clients tell their story and create meaning from their experiences.

Sometimes life throws us more than we think we can handle. We feel so sad it hurts. We feel alone and like things won't get better. We worry about things we can't control. We get so stressed and overwhelmed that we start avoiding or procrastinating. We may know what we need to do, but feel stuck or can't seem to actually do it.
