Feeling stressed out, anxious, or have another mental health issue that you are struggling to deal with? Have you thought about therapy? I believe everyone has the ability to overcome or deal with problems regardless of how overwhelming they might seem, and therapy can facilitate desired growth and personal goals. I view working with a therapist as a way of gaining insight on the issues that are present, and as a way to make a plan for improving mental well-being.

My approach to therapy is one that focuses on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. Through a strong therapeutic relationship, I believe clients are able to work through their struggles in an emotionally, safe space that is nonjudgmental, honest and compassionate. The journey of working through struggle becomes an opportunity for growth and healing. Through the therapeutic process, we explore patterns and ways of gaining insight into struggles while also building practical coping skills for managing difficulties on a daily basis.

The therapeutic relationship is unlike any other relationship because, for many, there are few relationships in life in which you can just focus on yourself. When you feel like you have too much on your plate, therapy allows you to come up for air, engage in meaningful self-reflection, and discover what you are made of and how you can be true to yourself going forward. I am committed to helping you dig deep and do the work necessary to break down barriers, make connections, uncover answers, and build the mental strength you need to gain, or regain, more control over your life.

But when its your own thoughts and feelings that are impeding your ability to achieve what you define as "satisfaction" in life- you must take the time to stop, reflect, and possibly change either your approach or alter your perspective.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with stress or worries in your daily life? Is it having an impact on your work, relationships, or how you feel about yourself? Often, we can manage stress on our own, but other times, it's helpful to seek out a therapist for support. In therapy, we can work to improve self-awareness and understand our reactions to triggering events. We can learn specific skills to help with stress and coping, practice new ways to think about situations, find courage to make important decisions, and adjust our behavior in ways that may lead to more positive outcomes.
