Many of us struggle with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Facing challenging decisions, navigating intimate relationships and family, and carrying too many responsibilities can be overwhelming and often too difficult to work though alone. Unresolved issues and traumas can lead to feeling "stuck" rather than taking steps towards finding solutions and healing. Many people resort to "quick fixes" when feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed, instead of addressing the root cause of the pain and discomfort. My experiences and training allow me to help you find tools within yourself to discover new perspectives and cultivate new skills.
My goal is to work with you to help bring awareness to negative thinking patterns and help you navigate confusing times. Together, we can find coping tools to promote health and wellness, develop a lifelong process of self-kindness, and create more lightness from the inside out. I am an active listener, experienced, empathetic therapist, and Licensed Nurse.
I understand the process of awareness, acceptance, and motivation for change, which is the key to healing and happiness. You are your best teacher, but you are not alone. I am looking forward to working with motivated individuals (and couples) ; that are open to life changing results. I share years of learned life experiences.
