You are intelligent and a hard worker, yet you continue feeling pulled down by the weight of stress, nagging thoughts and uncomfortable memories from the past. You’ve always pushed through hard times but now you’re overwhelmed, feeling on edge and having a hard time keeping up with work and family. Sometimes the thoughts you work hard to forget pop into your head at the most inconvenient times. No one should feel overloaded and weighed down by the past.

Do you ever feel like life is one huge juggling act, and you’re the one keeping all the plates spinning—your career, relationships, family, and yourself? Maybe you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. Or perhaps food & body image feel like a constant battle, leaving you stuck in cycles of dieting, emotional eating, and self-criticism. Therapy isn’t about fixing you- it’s about unraveling the pressure, the self-doubt, and the impossible expectations you carry, so you can breathe again. You deserve a life that feels lighter, more balanced, and deeply aligned with who you truly are.

Does anyone really ever understand how tiring it is to act okay and always be strong when there is so much chaos going on inside of us? Maybe we are to the point where we just do not have the energy to do the things we want to do or perhaps even used to enjoy doing. We might be struggling with deep emotions no one else understands. Maybe there are things we don’t even know how to put into words. Therapy is a special place where you can learn more about who you are and find out how to get to where you want to be in life.

I specialize in working with a variety of individuals over the age of 18 who have struggled with life transitions, anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual abuse, grief, self-esteem, domestic violence, postpartum, and financial burdens.
As we transition through life, we go through many phases. We're often faced with challenges and obstacles that can make it difficult to process and move forward. During those times, the light at the end of the tunnel is not always present. Maybe you are under a lot of stress, feel stuck, are grieving the loss of a loved one, dealing with loneliness, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, financial burdens, past trauma, or just don't feel like yourself. Whatever the issue, therapy provides a safe and secure space to talk through your issues, create attainable goals, and begin your healing journey.

It can be difficult to talk about mental health and illness. Sometimes we feel as though no one is truly listening when we ask for help. Whether you are struggling to push back against overwhelming despair, fears of tomorrow, or crushing sadness due to loss, I am listening. If it is your own, private journey or perhaps difficulties with a relationship, I am listening. Maybe you aren't sure what is real and what isn't, or maybe you feel trapped in a body that is not you, I am listening. Perhaps you have been shunned or turned away by friends and family simply because of who you are. I am listening.

Are you someone who is often described as a survivor? You’ve figured out how to adapt and get through hard situations, but you’re feeling drained or lacking a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. Maybe you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving. Healing takes courage — and you don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes the things we do to “survive” or “get through” can keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from reaching our goals or finding meaning and happiness. Maybe you're stuck in patterns of insomnia, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, stress, unresolved grief, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

What? Me . .traumatized? Surely it's not as bad as. . someone else and Their experience. Trauma comes in many forms and disguises. The back part of the brain subconsciously feels we are in a battle or there's a bear in the cave. Our defenses/ways of coping and triggers arise in ways that aren't helpful or productive/controllable. Reactions/responses seem to come from out of nowhere. These can be signs/symptoms of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. All can be addressed and shifted in counseling, particularly through EMDR. I am certified in that field and have found it to be life-changing for many.

I never thought of it like that... This a phrase I often hear from my clients as I challenge them to think outside the box and embrace different perspectives and approaches. It's essential to ensure your unique story is known, seen, and heard. . I help children, adolescents, and adults learn to identify and express their feelings and develop coping strategies to deal with difficult situations. Also, if interested, I offer animal therapy with the adorable ICAN therapy dog, Levi (see pic below), providing unique support in our healing work together. "Healing is an art. It takes time, it takes practice. It takes love." - Maza Dohta
