The idea of therapy can be really scary, especially for children and adults who are already feeling overwhelmed! I have a strong passion for working with youth - I tend to gravitate toward young clients struggling with history of trauma, frequent anxiety, and difficulties with regulating emotions and/or behaviors. That being said, I’ve recently done some wonderful work with adults as well. I am especially passionate about helping individuals who have had difficulty enjoying therapy previously, as I believe sessions should typically feel empowering rather than upsetting.

Your daily experiences are cumulative. The distress and anxiety you feel has worsened over time. Now you’re afraid of losing control completely and the rejection you may get from others if they know how you feel and what you’re thinking. It has become very lonely. You have tried everything you know – meditation, yoga, music, exercise, sleep routines – nothing has worked. Hopelessness started to set in. But because of your determination, you refused to give up.

Are you looking for help managing your daily life, making decisions, regulating your emotions or behaviors, navigating social interactions or relationships, and achieving your goals? Do you have a vision for your life but there is something holding you back? I believe everyone has the ability to reach their goals on their own. However, it can be difficult to ignite our potential when we are faced with stress, anxiety, depression or life obstacles.

You're looking for a therapist for a reason. You have likely been trying your hardest to pull things together, but regardless of the constant effort, life is becoming more and more about 'getting through each day'. It can seem like a constant struggle for you, and the hope that this will all just go away is fading. You may not believe it right now, but things can change - I've seen it first-hand. And if you find a therapist you truly connect with and trust, you can actually begin to break apart what's been dragging you down so you can focus on what's most important to you in your life.
