Are you barely making it through your day? Through your life? You feel like something is missing? Or you cannot let go of something pulling you to the past? A lot of individuals feel this way. People walk around feeling empty, not knowing if they can make it to tomorrow, keeping in trauma and trying to forget the past. What do they all have in common? They keep it in. Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, etc. All the labels that get thrown around but are real life realities to a lot of people. How do you work through it? Is holding it in working? Are you able to actually cope? Are you able to function? What do you need? Therapy?

Hi! This is a tough journey. I congratulate you on taking this first step to get help. Life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes we all need help to navigate the rough waters. Maybe it is anxiety, depression, trauma or past demons. Maybe it just too tough to get out of bed or to scary to walk out the door. Sometimes an objective ear to really hear what you are saying and what you need or simply just validation is the remedy. I can help with all of that and much more. My patients feel I provide them with a supportive setting where each person can express themselves openly about the challenges they face.

Hey there! Do you ever feel like no one understands what you are going through? As a therapist who has been to therapy (and still goes sometimes!), I understand how important it is to feel seen, be listened to and understood. Therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and comfortable opening up. Recognizing this, my approach consists of us getting to know one another and building trust. Once trust is built, we can dive deeper into the issues you want to address. Every client is unique and deserves individualized treatment tailored to fit their wants and needs. I will meet you where you are at, and we can go from there!
