You may be spending a lot of time feeling bad or worrying about where you are at in your life. Telling yourself stories of why you’re not enough or comparing yourself to everyone else around you? You may have convinced yourself you cannot have what you want or don't feel good enough to get to where you want to be in your life. You may not even know where you learned to talk to yourself this way. When did this start? Have you become your last priority? Continuing to worry may be stopping you from doing the things you want the most or keeping you from having the close meaningful friendships or relationships you truly want.

Common struggles I assist with include; tackling communication barriers, rebuilding the 'spark,' addressing emotional needs, building self worth, and getting 'un-stuck' in life. My passion comes from helping people pave their way to growth and happiness. I believe my role as a therapist is to put an end to the cycle of avoiding difficult topics, and to dig deeper into them.

Life can be hard. Being a college student can be hard. Life transitions (like starting college) often make it clear that some things just aren’t working. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, alone, or depressed. Emotions, worries, or confusion become overwhelming and lead to unhelpful patterns. You've tried everything, but nothing has worked. You wonder if it will ever get better. All you want is peace, stability, and confidence in the direction your life is going. To feel good about yourself and your choices. To feel comfortable in your own skin and to believe in your ability to succeed.

Building resiliency isn't always about overcoming the mountain sized obstacles. Sometimes, its about overcoming the desire to stay in bed all day, or have popcorn for dinner the fifth day in a row, or have just one more drink at the end of the day. Trauma, and its positive counter-part- Healing, is within each of us. Cultivating a positive support system and partnership is all about accessing the natural power you hold within yourself. Within each individual, and couple, embracing healing is possible. I believe in empowering people to build a relationship with themselves in such a way that they develop internal trust and reliance.

Good mental health is hard to achieve in isolation. I commend you for reaching out to share your troubles. I offer you a safe place to feel. Trusting is especially hard if you've endured more than most. Learning how to deal with what's inside is confusing if nobody taught you as a kid how to make sense of it all. Therapy is a unique process where as you dare to let a safe person experience the hurt alongside you, you'll feel less alone,"weird" and overwhelme of what's happening. When we feel less alone, we'll have courage to try what it's like to practice responses that won’t get us deeper into depression, shame and anxiety.
