We see the world through the filter of our beliefs. These beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world influence our interpretations of the experiences we have. They exert power over our emotions and behaviors. Sometimes our beliefs cause dysfunction in our lives, causing depression, anxiety, or low self-worth. They can dampen motivation, inhibit our behavior, and disrupt our relationships. Inaccurate, dysfunctional beliefs can trap us in a self-fulfilling prophecy, as when, for instance, a belief that we are incompetent causes us to avoid new opportunities, resulting in outcomes that make us feel even more incompetent.

I believe therapy can help one learn to navigate strong emotions and better regulate one's responses to life's challenges. Feeling understood and validated by one's therapist can allow one to develop insight into thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In knowing the context and meaning that underlies how we relate to the self, to others and to the world, we have greater choice in breaking free from distressing patterns that may be keeping us stuck. Over time, the therapeutic relationship becomes the vehicle that allows one to carve a personal and professional life that feels satisfying and deeply meaningful.

Do you find yourself constantly feeling anxious and spending a lot of time overthinking? Are you struggling in your career or relationships? Maybe you don't feel good enough and identify as an over-achiever? Are you going through a big life change or loss, and feeling completely overwhelmed? You’re not alone. I am passionate about working with adults with anxiety, self-esteem and major life changes. My belief is that our relationship with ourselves deeply effects how we navigate day to day stressors and major life transitions. You are your biggest asset.

My ideal client is motivated to change and willing to put in the work. They struggle with anxiety or PTSD and want to release the burden of feeling trapped inside their own mind. Their goals are to create and cultivate new hobbies like meditation, journaling, and finding ways to set up boundaries to cultivate more self-love, among other things. They are willing to be vulnerable, to go deep and face their own shadows. It is my hope that working with me will help my clients of this nature to free themselves through our deep conversations.

I work best with individuals in which are internally motivated for change, looking to work collaboratively alongside the individual to explore depression, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, substance abuse, and much more.
