If you are off balance in what feels like a hopeless or permanent way, just know you are not alone. I can help. You matter to me, and you deserve to be heard and seen. Let's start that journey together!

*Not currently taking new clients* Being a human is hard, and for most of us, no one has guided us how to navigate through the messiness of life. At some point in our lives, we might find ourselves lost and stuck. It takes a lot of courage to reflect inwards and work on ourselves. I'm committed to understanding your story in the full context of your experiences and helping you make the changes you want to see. Humor is also important to me, and I hope we can find ways to laugh together. I strive to create a therapeutic space with you that supports healing, resolution, and where you can practice skills that you can use everyday.

Talk therapy serves a valuable purpose by aiding your brain in processing challenging emotions during specific moments in your life and enabling introspection regarding associated thoughts. However, what if you find yourself trapped in the depressive, anxious, angry, or shameful mental state for so long that you have nothing new to explore? What if, despite recounting your traumatic experiences numerous times, your low energy, sadness, avoidance, anger, or impulsivity still persists? And what if the somatic reactions triggered by certain events are so intense and rapid that you are unable to employ sound judgment?

Are you feeling hopeless, helpless, like life is too much to handle right now? Are you experiencing anxiety or feeling depressed? Do you want help, but are scared to take the next step? I understand and I am here for you! Whether you are a kid, teen, adult, or senior, I can help you feel better and achieve your goals.
