It's time to break free from old patterns. Do you feel like you’ve been struggling with the same cycle of emotions for years and don’t know if it will ever get better? Have you ever felt like your problems aren’t “bad enough” for counseling? You may be highly functional in some areas of your life while below the surface you are struggling with some heavy feelings. I believe that breaking these cycles is a courageous and transformative journey.
More balance and peace is possible with counseling. You can experience more freedom and control of your life than you thought possible. I can help you work through: past trauma(s) including spiritual trauma/abuse, ADHD, anxiety, depression, being able to “own your own space,” and growing in confidence.
I provide a compassionate, authentic and down-to-earth approach to therapy, committed to meeting you where you are at. I work with evidenced and strength-based therapies. Prevention and early intervention are incredibly important for our mental health. There is always hope for change and it would be a privilege to walk with you in your healing journey.
