It's hard to admit needing help sometimes. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, lost, or inertia about self-motivated change? If you're struggling with managing anxiety or depression, infertility, adoption issues, trauma, LGBTQ, ADHD, child behavior, mariage, or impulse control I can help. I will "meet you where you are" emotionally, and together we can navigate what you are experiencing. I want to walk with you while you find mental wellness, manage stressors, obtain clarity, and gain the peace of mind that you deserve. There's much healing in being heard, understood, and taking time to process emotions.
I believe healing and optimal mental health is a combination of our mind (thought processes), body (self-care and mind/body integration), and spirit (connectedness). I offer psychotherapy that is cognitive-based and empathic, but also may introduce you to energy-shifting tools like reiki, tapping and qi-gong if you are comfortable with these modalities.
Since 2020, a lot of people are struggling, or walking around with depression or anxiety and they don't even know it. If you suspect your mental health needs attention or is interfering with your goals/hopes/needs I want to help you and hope to bring you a fresh approach. Please have some compassion for yourself, and know I am here for you if you need it.
