At times, life can feel overwhelming. As if you are just going through the motions of day-to-day life. Many times you do not even recognize it until life becomes too hard and the task you once enjoyed, now takes all of your energy. My role as your therapist is to help you sort out negative emotions, thoughts, or behaviors that leave you feeling as if you are running on auto pilot. Together we will work on identifying unhealthy patterns in our thoughts and reactions, we will dig deep into our emotions and being, as well as develop techniques and skills to feel in control and stable.
I offer clients a person-centered approach with a focus on cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This means you are the driver during sessions and I am the guide. I will focus on how emotions and negative thoughts impact your overall wellbeing and find solutions to get out of these cycles! I am trauma focused trained and well versed in the LGBTQ+ culture.
I service children aged 9 and older, teens, and adults. I also assist couples during different transitions in life. Healing is a process that does not have to happen alone. If you are ready to take this next step, please reach out today. We can have a brief phone conversation to discuss what this will look like and I can answer any of your questions.
