Are you struggling with feeling worthy? Does it feel like if you could just find the right self help book or self care tool, you’d also find a full connected meaningful life? Perhaps it's a traumatic experience, unhelpful patterns in your relationships, or undiagnosed ADHD keeping you stuck. As an experienced clinician I am convinced that we are all worthy, and it is only through developing that loving relationship with ourselves that we can feel worthy. When we learn how to like ourselves, how to LOVE ourselves, our relationships deepen, our sleep improves, and we are more able to take those essential steps to live our best life.

Hello! For some people, possibly you, anxiety and stress are getting in the way of your life. Anxiety can sometimes turn a mild situation into a crisis and can push you towards making decisions you don't truly understand. It is common for people who suffer from anxiety to feel as though they are constantly doubting themselves or the people around them. Sometimes anxiety can feel like you are just on auto pilot, going through the "motions" and unable to reach your goals. It can also cause a lot of uncertainties about the world around you and who you are, oftentimes only adding to your already existing anxieties.

We all face varying degrees of trauma which, left unresolved, can lead to challenges with mental, emotional, and physical well-being. If you are facing anxiety, depression, avoidance, numbing, or emotional volatility, you may be operating an overwhelmed system induced by stress or trauma. Living in survival mode can create strained relationships, negative thought cycles, and unhealthy coping mechanisms that lead to more stress. I aim to provide a light on the path to healing and growth as we work together to establish safety, build awareness, process past experiences, and form new ways of coping.

I understand how vulnerable it can be to take the first step toward health and healing. Studies have shown that when a client makes the initial call to set up an appointment with a counselor, stress and anxiety decrease immediately. Taking the first step to seek counseling does not indicate weakness, but rather is a sign of strength and bravery.

It’s no secret that life can at times feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate. We can find ourselves repeating old patterns that we’re unsure how to break out of. Maybe you’ve had painful past experiences that feel like a weight holding you down, resulting in feelings of depression, anxiety, shame, or loss of connection. You want to heal, but you’re not sure where to start. I know that beginning to confront your past can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it on your own.

My role and purpose is to help people find their freedom in order to find deep meaning in life and to love freely. The people I see often feel diminished and beaten down by many things including substance use disorders, shame put upon them by others, early childhood trauma and the grief associated with living. In my practice I help people learn skills and ways to cope with their individual issues so that they are able to live with the pain and not in it.
