Having struggles with depression, anxiety, fears, or ADHD symptoms? Do you find day-to-day life to be overwhelming? Are insecurities or a poor self-image keeping you from doing things you know you can do in your life? There was a line in a song many years ago which seems to express how therapy can help you. To paraphrase that line: "Free your mind and your body will follow". You can develop your ability to control your emotions and your life. You can set your goals and work toward them. You can take control of your life. Let's get started today.

The clients I serve find themselves being negatively impacted by unfortunate experiences in their lives. The three most prevalent commonalities are anxiety, stress, and prolonged feelings of sadness or depression. These symptoms can be accompanied by experiences of loss; loss of appetite, money, function, energy, employment, relationships, and oftentimes pleasure. This psychological distress can be rooted in fear, guilt, loneliness, disappointment, anger, resentment, and simple dissatisfaction.

For so many of us, the past several years of pandemic and political unrest have taken a serious toll on our well-being, our mental health, our sense of belonging, and even our faith in humanity itself.

Pro LGBTQQIAP/ BLM/ sex/ body positive/ally. I specialize in healing from healing the neurological response to trauma. My training, both academic and visceral experiences, have all contributed in creating an eclectic therapeutic approach that values empowerment, self-direction, confidentiality, a non-judgmental atmosphere, emotional safety, validation, dignity, and respect above as else. These components are necessary to create an environment conducive for healing. When both the client and the therapist are willing to work in collaboration towards achieving their therapeutic goals, great strides can be made in the healing process.

One of the biggest obstacles to personal, emotional, mental and social well-being is holding on to the past. Letting go of the past can empower you to obtain happiness, and contentment in all walks of life. It is very important, yet difficult, to be in the present. Letting go and starting anew will increase your sense of resilience and help you tackle concerns confidentially and bravely without feeling helpless, unduly stressed or overwhelmed. Confidence paired with realistic goals and plans can lead to peace versus anxiety and fear. Properly managed stress can positively affect your physical, mental, and emotional health.

My expertise lies in supporting those who are ready to confront hidden wounds. Through counseling, we'll collaborate to uncover the path toward wellness.

For some, it entails the process of seeing life through a lens of healing rather than a clouded one. If you're prepared to embark on the journey towards a brighter future, I'm eager to accompany you every step of the way!
