Too often we are expected to travel through life's journey without acknowledging the incredible demands of self-exploration, healing, and discovery. Our world has taught us to believe that if we cannot see hurt, aches, pain, or trauma, then it must not be there. I invite you to challenge this belief and acknowledge that mental health is health, too. Traumas are more often than not invisible, only to be seen when someone is struggling on the outside. It is imperative to pay attention to the obstacles we cannot see.

People come to therapy when they feel stuck—emotionally, mentally, or in their relationships. You might be going through the motions, overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or unsure of how to navigate a life transition. When you feel stuck, therapy can help you regain momentum and move forward with purpose. I work with individuals who are ready to break through the barriers holding them back. Our work will focus on how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. By understanding and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns, you will build healthier emotional responses and more effective ways to navigate life’s challenges.

I often use Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral therapy to help individuals cope with trauma-related difficulties and improve well-being.
Therapy is not a great moment where everything falls into place and is "fixed" at once; rather, it is more of a series of moments, which open clarity and help the client see things differently. Therapy is not going to go where YOU don't want to go - if you don't bring it up and talk about it, then it won't get addressed. Therapy doesn't "fix" you - you're not broken! Therapy helps you understand HOW you experience the world in YOUR way - and helps you understand a better way to navigate through the world more comfortably.

Sometimes we feel like we are falling out of balance in our lives. This lack of balance can come from any aspect of our life (the past, the future, our inner world, our vices, our relationships with others, our work) and it can heavily impact how we feel about our lives. Your goals may seem out of reach, stress might be weighing on your shoulders, or you may not know what needs you are looking to fulfill yet. Whatever the case may be, I will do my best to help you overcome struggles, offer meaningful guidance, and be a strong source of support as we work through the therapeutic process together.
