When people look at you, it looks like you have it all, but life feels painful. You are successful, driven, and dependable. You have worked so hard to create the life of your dreams, but it feels like life is falling apart. Your marriage maybe falling apart or your important relationships strained. Something has to change because living this way is not working. You have tried to follow the rules and do everything by the book. You have tried to keep everyone happy. Yet, it all feels lost. You can’t go on like this. This is not what you want for your life. You are at the end of your rope, and it’s time for a change.

Having a safe place where you are as comfortable as possible is key to sharing hardships. I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I utilized parts language and the internal family systems modality to help you explore different inner conflicts. My favorite modality is compassion focused therapy because I believe everyone is deserving of love, care, and dignity. Overall, the modality and intervention changes on your needs and is person centered to the struggle at hand.

Each person is unique. My primary approach to counseling is an integration of person-centered, mindfulness-based and cognitive behavioral therapies. This approach strives to balance mindful awareness and collaborative effort to identify and change the clients' behavioral disturbances. I assist you in developing healthy solutions and coping skills to place in your 'toolbox' for life challenges. Treatment focuses on changing negative thought patterns in order to change behavioral and emotional stages. It is understood that therapy is not an instant fix, but I am eager to assist you in each step of your growth.

Caring people feel emotions more intensely. Whether its paralyzing anxiety, the continual cloud of depression or heartbreaking loss your daily struggle is valid. You may find making decisions about your relationships, career/college path, or everyday life extremely difficult. Earlier trauma only complicates the emotional pain and attempts to cope. You deserve to feel understood, listened to, and worthy while healing, building healthy coping skills, regaining positivity and confidence. Therapy is a trusting, respectful, nonjudgemental path forward for yourself. Caring people deserve a compassionate therapist.
