Life can be difficult. Managing the ups and downs of life can be especially stressful for those suffering from anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addiction. Putting down unhelpful habits can be hard. Even if you are in recovery, maintenance is not always easy. We often turn to things to make us feel better, not realizing the damage this does. Taking things one day at a time and choosing healthy coping mechanisms can be easier said than done. Sometimes extra support is needed to make the right choices.

What does it truly mean to be happy? Some people define happiness as having enough money to support themselves or a family. Some people find happiness in travel. There are many that just want to be able to stop feeling scared of leaving their house. While others just want to figure out how to get out of bed in the morning and parent their children. Life can be challenging sometimes, and we find ourselves feeling alone. I became a therapist for that very reason. I did not want anyone I met to feel that loneliness. There is so much beauty in feeling supported, and knowing you have someone in your court cheering you on.

Maybe you are looking for someone to help you make sense of a stressful situation within yourself, your marriage or your family- to help you learn how you may yourself be creating or adding to that stress (without realizing it, of course!). That's ok, most of us have done this. I am here to help. I can work together with you to develop more effective ways of dealing with these life stressors so that you can learn to live a happier and successful life. As a psychotherapist I have learned how to guide my clients to do just that.

I know how difficult it is to talk about our emotions and about things that hurt and make you feel depressed, anxious, or lost. I have dedicated most of my life to studying and practicing psychology, first, in my analysis to understand what was hindering my progress and what was causing so much suffering. Second, in my academic formation which is a way to help others find their true desire and fulfillment in their life.

Between the pressures of school, family, friends, social media, and all the stressors that come with being a teen or young adult, you might be thinking: something has GOT to give. When we go through tough times, we can find ourselves looking for answers in all the wrong places (eh hm TikTok doom-scrolling at 3am). Instead of hanging on the words of influencers as they dole out “life hacks,” you might be ready to invest in proper self-care via mental health therapy. Teenage and young adult years are a precious and fleeting stage of personal development; going to therapy can help navigate this phase of life with confidence.
