During a typical week, it can be difficult to know how we’re feeling and what's bothering us. Our attention has to be diverted to so many external things, that we barely have time to understand what’s going on internally. All we know is that we’re not feeling great and are mentally struggling in some way. Or we know exactly what’s bothering us, but have no idea where to go from there. Therapy is the 1 hour a week where we can focus on those mental/emotional aspects of life. Therapy is the place where we gain understanding of where we want to go in life, what may be getting in our way, and what we can do to help ourselves.

My passion is to work with those who have struggled with the challenges of life; trauma, addiction, relationship issues, mood disorders, grief, attachment, career issues or any stress contributing to anxiety. They may have sought therapy in the past and have become discouraged, for whatever reason. The foundation of therapy is the therapeutic alliance. When one suffers various disorders, life becomes dull and motivation to live according to one's values instead of one's fears is threatened. It is critical that the therapist be attuned to the worldview of the client to facilitate healing, self acceptance and self compassion.

Life can often get in the way of us taking care of ourselves and providing the space for us to grow and thrive. Stress, trauma, and difficult experiences often interrupt our emotional well-being and create emotional distress. Everyone deserves the opportunity to find their true self to experience joy. Hence, it's my passion to come alongside kids, teens, and adults, and support them in the journey toward health and happiness.

Making the decision to pursue counseling is brave- I know because I’ve done it. I believe everyone deserves a safe space where we can feel seen and heard; where we can tell our story without fear of judgement, to someone we trust and be met with deep respect, care, empathy and acceptance. I believe this process helps us find our true voice, discover or reconnect with our strengths and feel empowered to heal, grow and thrive. Life is demanding, and it can be a struggle to find a balance between all the roles we play and the people who depend on us. Sometimes we have to do so much, it’s hard to feel like we are doing anything right.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and perfectionism. I recognize the challenging cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, obsessive doubt, avoidance, and compulsions, and can help provide some guidance around becoming “unstuck” from difficult patterns that are no longer serving you. If you struggle with using substances or other behavioral addictions to cope, and are wanting to set some goals surrounding your use, I am dually licensed to treat co-occuring substance use as well.

Grieving the death of a loved one can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself, others, and the world as you knew it. Although grief is full of uncertainty, one thing is clear: it will change you. Perhaps what once felt like normal stress is now blossoming into sleepless nights, overthinking, or increasing fear. Maybe you’re becoming frustrated by others’ responses or feeling like a burden to those around you. You may have begun to tuck away the truth about your loss from others because it’s too much, too dark, too upsetting. But you can’t forget what happened, you don’t have a way to escape it.
