I have more than 15 years’ experience as a mental health professional and over 25 years' experience in human behavior. I have worked in both law enforcement & criminal defense and have had the privilege of hearing thousands of stories, every one unique. If there is one thing I know, it is that being human is hard and despite the many joys, it also comes with pain, sometimes tremendous pain. I also believe with a healthy mindset, humans are remarkably resilient. Trauma can drastically disrupt mindset, often creating a false life narrative. Let's unlock your truths, find your authentic self and work to live your best life possible.
Together we will discuss what has brought you into therapy, what goals you have and strategies to get you there. If you are lost, as many of us are, we will learn how to be comfortable in the uncertainty, while remaining curious about what is next. Through evidence based therapy and authentic conversations, we will move forward in healing and evolving.
The first step is recognizing we don't need to do this alone and that vulnerability is in fact a strength not weakness. Let's work to be honest with our selves, as the body never lies. An anxious person is a divided person, sometimes even leaving us feeling like an imposter in our own body, not even recognizing ourselves. I have been there, let's heal.
