Life can sometimes feel heavy. One day you notice you're in your head feeling frustrated, irritated, stuck, or just plain exhausted. You've been trying to find a balance with all of your responsibilities but it doesn't feel like you can catch a break. Some relationships feel strained, parenting perhaps has you bogged down or you've lost sight of YOU. There seems to be this pressure to do and be everything to everyone. Maybe it's time for you to pause, take a step back and take stock of what all you've been carrying.

Greetings! The hardest thing to do in this world is to live in it. Reaching out for help can feel risky or daunting, especially as life changes around you. Days of seeing what feels "normal" change from moment to moment, experiencing losses and transitions (both welcome and unwelcome), and trying to figure out where you fit in your own story brings on all sorts of Big Emotions. You might feel anxious about navigating another hardship, or depressed at how things have changed. You may be feeling guilt or relief at a big life shift in an unexpected way. How do you process it all and keep going?

There are many reasons people seek therapy - a little extra support, anxiety, depression, life transitions, learning to set boundaries, past or present trauma, navigating relationships, self esteem, stress, and more. While starting the process can be frightening and overwhelming, it can also be freeing. I understand this and work to build a relationship with each client that promotes trust, awareness, and understanding. If you're ready to get started, I'm here, and I'd love to help.

Life can be overwhelming, confusing, disappointing, and painful. Life can be very fast-paced, and can be very difficult in knowing how to keep up. If you’re feeling depressed, or having difficulty with friendships/relationships/family/job, therapy can help. Are the experiences earlier in your life impacting you now? Is it difficult to make healthy choices? Do you have anger issues? Do you struggle to share emotions that are natural and more vulnerable? Therapy can aid a person in making healthy choices, and improve daily decision-making.

Stressed-out? Feeling lost? Struggling to get through your day? Imagine a life without overwhelming anxiety, depression or self doubt, but instead you can feel empowered, self assured and even just relaxed despite all of life's stressors. Therapy can help you to achieve that self assurance, sense of peace and increased coping ability. I believe that everyone is unique and has their own unique journey; therefore, therapy should be person-centered and non-judgmental.
