Sometimes life throws us a curveball or two. Some people have been dealt a difficult card from the start. I believe we all possess the tools needed to get through times of adversity, but at times, may need a little guidance. One of the many things I love about working as a social worker is the diversity and uniqueness of people I have met over the years, meeting them where they are in life and learning from their experiences. The majority of my career includes working with children, adolescents and adults in a school, hospital, and community mental health setting focusing on suicide prevention, depression, and anxiety.

Lately you’ve been feeling down. Maybe you're having trouble sleeping, eating, or isolating and every day feels like a fight. Perhaps you’ve been feeling nervous, maybe even for no clear reason, and it’s making it hard to focus or function well. Some people even feel like their mind has been playing tricks on them - like having extraordinary experiences where you’re seeing or hearing things others don’t seem to see or hear. Or perhaps those scary moments from your past seem to be getting bigger and bigger, making it really hard to keep running away from. And sometimes, life just feels hard. But it doesn't have to stay that way.

Have you experienced trauma in your life and seem to struggle with the same situations over and over, not knowing how to stop the vicious cycle. Are your emotions problematic, do you repeat unhealthy behaviors, relationships, have an onslaught of negative thoughts and no matter how successful you have become, you feel like a fake, insecure and if people really knew? How many times have you promised that you will stop, alcohol, drugs and really mean it, want it, yet once again fall short. As a veteran, were you in combat, was your military experience depleting, anxiety provoking and your life never the same? What keeps you stuck?

Have you ever driven home from a family gathering, brunch with girlfriends, or a day at work analyzing everything you did? Upset with yourself because you interacted a little too long with that toxic family member, or over shared with your friends when you promised to keep it light this time? Finding, and accepting, your authentic self takes some work, and it gets messy. It can be even more difficult to show up as that person consistently. Let's break the cycle of who you are expected to be to become who you truly are.

Do you ever feel so overwhelmed with your life and circumstances that you feel anxious or depressed? Or have you experienced something in your life that you cannot get over or get through and it is still affecting you and the way you want to live? Life can be challenging and sometimes you need someone objective to talk to. Someone who will not judge you or tell you what you should do. You have goals and dreams to achieve. You also want to be at peace with yourself and live a contented, fulfilling life.

Hellooo! Thanks for making time to be here today. If you're here, I'm wondering if you've asked yourself important questions such as: When was the last time you were asked what you needed? What does acceptance look like in your life? How can you live your most authentic self? What does it look like creating an environment for yourself to be successful? If you find yourself resonating with these questions, then you're more than likely seeking a provider who can help you achieve your goals, and maybe that's me! I encourage you to make an appointment today to find out.

Making the choice to start therapy can feel daunting, but it can be a rewarding and healing experience. Therapy is a space where you can express thoughts and feelings without judgment. You can explore and heal, learn and observe, and work towards the goals and values that you identify as important. I assist people in discovering peace and comfort within their lives through coping skills, mindfulness practices, and self compassion, as well as exploring and healing from past experiences and traumas.

You are tired of fighting, having to explain yourself, being disappointed, and grieving the life you planned as a child. Parenting is one of the HARDEST and most fulfilling experiences that one can have in this lifetime, but it can sometimes feel like a constant battle. If you toss in co-parenting with an ex-partner, trying to integrate a new partner into your "ready-made" family, and/or being a caregiver to a family member due to unfavorable circumstances, things get a lot more complicated. Being the child in these situations, can be even harder to navigate because everything can feel so unstable. All of it feels exhausting!

Many people are hesitant to try therapy due to negative experiences in the past. For some, this will be their first attempt. The style of therapy I focus on is emotional support and listening. I really enjoy being able to walk next to clients when they are making difficult decisions in life or dealing with general stress and anxiety. Being able to assist a person in making their own choices, coming from a place of compassion, non-judgment, and understanding context is a crucial part of my approach. Listening, encouragement, and providing a safe space for a person to express themselves is what I strive for in a session.
