Feel stuck, sad, lost, overwhelmed, drained, or confused? Repeating the same patterns and want things to change but don’t know where to start? Do you want better for yourself but don’t know how to get there? Inaction prevents us from moving towards the person we want to be and live the life we want to live. The good news is you don’t have to figure out the next steps alone. If you have no idea where to begin, I want to help! Life can be hard and lonely. My goal is to assist in meeting your goals leading to a more manageable and fulfilling life you can find enjoyment in despite the challenges that a comes with life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and EMDR trained therapist using a trauma-informed, solution focused approach. I have experience working with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma experiences, life transitions, work challenges, home/life stress, self-esteem concerns, adjustment and relationship issues.
My primary role as your therapist is to be an empathic ear and sounding board. In a curated safe, exploratory, accountable, and judgment free zone we will work together to gain awareness and insight into your emotions, thoughts, patterns of behavior and how they have immobilized you. And together we move towards action and do something about it! Let's start!
