Therapy is a journey where we work towards embracing who you are and who you are becoming. I believe we heal in community and in relationships. I strive to offer you a safe space to grow in connection to yourself and others. It can be incredibly difficult when we feel that our communities and relationships are a place that contributes to us feeling stuck, confused, frustrated or hopeless. When we explore the stories, triggers, patterns, attachment styles and pains that interfere with who and how you want to be, we make space for healing and growth.

Personal beliefs and thoughts have power over our emotions and behavior. Sometimes we just aren't aware of our underlying beliefs influencing our mood.

I know it can be difficult to talk about your feelings. So I start by providing a safe space for you.

My therapeutic philosophy is based on the quote from Albert Einstein, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Many people let false beliefs about themselves hold them back from reaching self-actualization. Everyone deserves to reach the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities, but sometimes we find ourselves as the fish Einstein describes attempting to climb a tree because we let anxiety, depression, and past trauma become barriers to our fulfillment.

Are you an individual who is going through a life transition, burnt out, anxious, depressed, feeling blocked, stuck, or insecure, and unsure how to navigate a path forward? Life takes us on many different journeys throughout the years. Sometimes we are unsure if our next move will be the best move. We sometimes run into detours that knock us off our path, and sometimes life hits hard and knocks us completely off course. The best part is that we can get back on course towards our desired destination. You have the power to heal, evolve, and thrive, and I can help!

I believe in the power that language has to create and shape both worlds and identities. As a result, I take a narrative approach to counseling practice and work with clients to examine the way our language helps or hinders possibilities for health and flourishing.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave us feeling dissatisfied with life.

I see counseling as a collaborative process between individuals. I consider it a privilege to walk with you on your journey, whether it consists of management of symptoms, self-discovery, healing, or growth. My vision is to empower you to make decisions that best accommodate your life style and current situation, and with which you are comfortable. I believe that you know yourself best and therefore, we create a personalized approach to your counseling that includes the goals you have for yourself. I seek to provide you with a non-judgmental, supportive environment where you can be who you are and accepted completely.
