As a therapist, I believe that you already possess the tools needed to live a life of fulfillment, balance, and desired outcomes. However, sometimes due to a variety of reasons, we can become disempowered, afraid, or confused on how to utilize those tools in their entirety. Being able to recognize that those negative feelings are present is a great first step to tackling any issues you may face. I encourage clients to reach inside and rediscover those mental and emotional tools while also aiding them in discovering new tools that can help to improve their relationship with themselves and others.

“Be who you needed when you were younger” was a quote that resonated with me at an early age. As cliché as it may be, that quote is the reason that I embarked on the journey to becoming a therapist. I chose marriage and family because that is the most important system in an individual’s life that shapes how they move in the world. I believe that a person’s environment they grew up in is often linked to many challenges that they face as they journey through life. My goal is to help you collect any missing links to help connect you to the healing that you may be seeking.

You’re often looked at as the strong friend but feels as if no one checks in on you. You’re worried that people would look at you as weak or a “burden”. Everything is becoming so bottled up that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. Something needs to change, but you can’t seem to pinpoint where to start. The healing process can be frightening to begin, and I commend you for taking the first step on looking for a therapist to help you through it! Taking this journey can allow you to explore your authentic self, step into the person you want to be, and create more loving and safe spaces around you.

Have you ever felt like an outsider in spaces where you thought you would belong? Perhaps you even leave parts of your identity behind to fit in with your family, friends, and community. You may be carrying trauma from navigating difficulties related to your identities and feel like you have no one to talk to about what you’ve been through. And because of your identities, you may be battling oppression from various angles. After years of hiding your true self and trying to be strong in a world that is not designed for you, you are exhausted and just want a space where you are accepted and can work towards healing.

The greatest way to 'get over' something, is to go 'through' it in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. When life becomes challenging, you can oftentimes feel confused about where to turn. Perhaps you wish to discover the ways in which the past may be holding you back, better understand the reason why you're feeling stagnant in the present, and explore why the future may feel so intimidating for you. You may need the help of others to feel stable again and seeking therapy is a brave and courageous first step. You can discover new ways of living that feel fulfilling in the here and now. You deserve to feel better, and I can help.
