You aren’t quite sure when life became so overwhelming, but the memories of past events, the feelings of a racing heart, and the constant panic are leaving you feeling hopeless and desperate for a solution. After the stress of a big transition or difficult, life-changing event, you aren’t sure how to cope. You miss feeling connected to yourself and others.

First, I want to commend you on taking the step towards creating a more meaningful relationship with yourself through therapy. Understanding ourselves more deeply can feel scary but developing the awareness and skills on how to move forward with any of life’s challenges can feel empowering. I pride myself on creating a safe and inviting space to help you explore and make the best decisions for you. I also understand that no two people are the same and for this reason, I tailor my skills to meet your specific needs. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I take a trauma and resilience-informed approach.

When thinking of your dream life, it involves happiness, purpose, friendships, success, and everything else you've wished for. No matter how hard you try sometimes we're just let down, and life can start crumbling down around us. We can get pulled and pushed in many ways and may feel as if sometimes we have no control over anything. Activities we once enjoyed seem like a task, maintaining relationships become draining, and the best part of the day becomes the end. Your feelings matter and you deserve to be validated, understood, and respected. We need reminders that our life has value just by being the unique individual you are.

Does life feel overwhelming right now? Anxiety, depression, and trauma have a way of dictating our thoughts and taking control. In other words, emotions are hard! It’s incredible how long the human body can hold in all the chaos that life brings. I want to help you let go of all of the distress you’ve been holding on to and take back that control. Life will always be unpredictable, however, together we can find ways to navigate through the storms.

All children experience difficulty in the course of growing up (at home, school, with other children, etc.) or may behave in some way which concerns their parents or teachers. You can always seek extra support to help your child overcome these difficulties and increase their resilience. If you and/or your child’s teacher or pediatrician are concerned about your child’s adjustment or behavior, play therapy is the developmentally appropriate way to help your child. I provide a safe and understanding environment with a variety of toys and expressive arts materials for your child to communicate what they may not say in words.

Are you tired of trying to hold it together? Then I invite you to a compassionate and non-judgmental place called "self", where hard-work, tears, growth, and most importantly healing will happen. A safe place where you can process your thoughts and emotions of today and make sense of your past, so that you can understand why you have been struggling. Together we can address a mood disorder, which has been emotionally and physically painful, and can unearth the long-standing negative perceptions that you have been holding on to.
