I believe that “healing starts with being human.” We can heal, thrive, and expand when we understand ourselves and what will serve in our growth. By our very nature we are built to survive, but we can learn how to turn surviving into thriving. At the end of the day we all seem to need these three things: to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. This is what you will have in our work together as it serves as the catalyst for change. Searching for a therapist can be scary, confusing, and frustrating, but for what it's worth... I commend you for taking this step for yourself.

During the process of therapy, working through the struggles of life can bring you to a deeper and more meaningful place, not only finding, but also liking who you are. Therapy will help you learn coping skills, setting boundaries, changing perceptions that keep you stuck, finding the connection you want in relationships, building self-esteem, finding release from loss and grief, openness to change, and a willingness to accept your worth and find your authentic voice.
