Because I've been blessed with life-changing mentors in my life, I can pass the sum of their wisdom on to you, along with my own. Therapy is a healing process that happens through our shared connection and your expanding awareness. It requires a safe place, where truth is expressed and pain is transformed. Typically we meet suffering with distractions, intoxication or denial. When we find a way to experience emotional sobriety, our relationships with ourselves and others can heal. Loss, trauma, emotional intoxication and shame are common issues that breed secondary problems. We’ll approach them with skill, compassion and courage.

Anxiety can cast a shadow over your ability to show up and engage in the world. It hinders personal growth and presents challenges in work, school, social situations, and relationships. It even has the power to perpetuate across generations—leaving a lasting impact on family dynamics. My focus centers on helping you identify factors contributing to anxiety and developing problem solving strategies to help you look at situations from new and less frightening perspectives. I will equip you with valuable tools to unapologetically live in your truth.

The perfect client might have gone through tough times like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles. But together, we can dig into the roots of trauma, find hidden patterns, and set off on a life-changing journey towards emotional healing. Throughout this process, we'll rediscover joy, nurture relationships, and revitalize our overall well-being.

The mask we wear covers how lonely we really feel. Are you going through the motions, when all you feel is lost, depressed, scared, and drained? Are you having trouble speaking up for yourself in relationships or struggling with boundaries at home or at work? Do you hold it all in, constantly frustrated? Is it hard to make life transitions right now? Are you crying in the car on the way to work while still telling everyone you are fine? Being the “strong one” is so tiring. It silences us. Let’s find your voice. You deserve a place to cry, vent, find your footing, and emerge your best self. I would be honored to help you do that.
