The purpose of therapy is to help you get beyond a state of elementary survival -to a place where there's energy to be creative, the drive to motivate yourself, some space to take a walk, and perhaps time to attend a class. You may ask yourself constantly: "Isn't there more to life than struggle? Instead of walking in circles wouldn't it be nice to expand your horizons and gain a new perspective? Therapy is the place to do such things. It's a safe environment to become more awake and to develop more fully your genuine Self.

My specialty involves working with people who find themselves experiencing big, strong emotions that feel out of control or overwhelming. Whether that's a result of being naturally wired as a highly sensitive person, an outgrowth of traumatic experiences, or often a combination of both, people who live life this way often struggle with managing their thoughts, behavior, and relationships. You might also become fearful of feelings and find yourself avoiding and pushing them away. I want to support you in understanding and validating those emotions while giving you the skills you'll need to make productive and lasting change.

First, it is to be acknowledged that you have taken a BIG step in reaching out! Be proud of yourself as this is not as easy as it sounds. It is my belief that one of the bravest acts one can do is decide to turn inward, to face the truths you’ve tucked away. Are you feeling stuck and struggling with how to respond to challenges in personal relationships and family relationships? Are you questioning your direction in life or need support removing old ideas that are keeping you from transitioning into the next phase? It takes a quiet courage to admit that change is needed and I welcome you to continue looking into this possibility.

Personally, I know how difficult it was for me to get out of bed when suffering from depression and anxiety and to go about the everyday when concerned about having another panic attack. I know how valuable it was for me to have someone to talk to that wouldn't judge me or make me feel guilty about being exactly where I was at the time. The idea of "you should be fine", or "you have no reason to be anxious or depressed" is hurtful and doesn't help.
