Life may bring many challenges, impeding your growth in some way. Your anxiety may be making you feel tense, overwhelmed, stressed, irritable and afraid of taking risks. You alternate between feeling angry, scared , ashamed and numb, and you can't imagine ever feeling happy again. You don't have to let your painful past navigate the rest of your life. You can learn to trust yourself and feel enough. I support individuals in therapy with challenges related to anxiety, stress, work/life balance, low self-worth, family conflict, relationship issues, intimacy, divorce.

I specialize in helping adults and teens with getting unstuck from the effects of trauma. If you’re feeling more angry/irritated than usual, it’s hard trusting others, having difficult memories or dreams, feeling anxious, sad or lonely even if you’re surrounded by people, and you're struggling with your relationship(s), you may be experiencing side effects of trauma. You’ve been postponing professional help, hoping this would go away by itself but you are realizing that now may be the time? I get it. You’re not alone. There’s hope! I can help heal those internal wounds so you can enjoy your trauma-free, best version of yourself.

We all can suffer from trauma, stress, loss, pain, relationships, and work issues. Sometimes it is very difficult to ask for help. Seeking counseling does not mean that there is something wrong with us. Seeking counseling helps us to process those feelings and manage symptoms. I do not like to label my clients. I am more interested in guiding my clients and helping them during that process. Helping you during those difficult times to manage and cope are my top priorities as a therapist. I specialize in helping you manage your daily struggles and help you to regain that sense of usefulness again!
