If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you needed support but didn't know where to turn, you're not alone. I recall my initial attempts at seeking therapy in my younger days, where encounters with judgmental counselors deterred me from seeking help for a while. As life unfolded, it became evident that something wasn't right, prompting me to persistently search for a compassionate guide who would listen without judgment and aid me in my healing journey.

My specialty lies in trauma and complicated grief and loss. We all need a safe place to talk and express our emotions...knowing that the person listening understands the impact of YOUR loss/trauma on YOUR life. Many times we learn through our tragedies...but ALWAYS it changes who we are and our perspective. By talking out the new emotional/perspective changes, at times forced upon you, we can defuse the shame, the fear, and the doubts; helping you move forward from tragedy. The fact is you CAN move forward, through and past tragedy.

Let's be honest really quickly: We've all been a "Petty Patty/Pete" at some point in our lives. It's even become popular, especially in social media.

Sometimes you may become overwhelmed due to changes in routine or major events such as a new school, grades, finances, becoming a new parent, losing a loved one, divorce, or conflict in relationships. These life events may lead to anxiety, low self esteem, lack of motivation, and loss of direction. These struggles appear in different ways for each person and lasts for varying amounts of time. However, we can not always recover on our own due to depression, anxiety, past trauma, or other underlying influence. I am a therapist (LPC), here to help you on your journey to healing and becoming your best self.

You're smart and you know it but sometimes you feel like an imposter. You thrive in ordered spaces, but your environment doesn't reflect that. You're competitive but struggle with even the slightest criticism. You can have months to complete a project that you could complete in a couple of days - tops. Yet you put it off, until the last week - or even days - stressing the whole time but managing somehow to pull it off at the last minute. You're creative but can get overwhelmed with the vastness of ideas and thoughts that come to your mind, so much so that it is difficult for you to focus and develop your ideas to completion.

My goal is to help you work through challenges in your life by encouraging you to explore and discuss these concerns. We will develop goals to work towards change in this process. I work with adults, children, families, and couples. We can process a range of problems including career struggles, depression, anxiety, grief, ineffective coping skills, and relationship problems to name a few.
