It’s morning and your alarm is going off. You think, "no, I just fell asleep!". Then your thoughts start to race, your heart is beating really fast and it is hard to breathe. You don't want to get out of bed, but if you don’t you know you will feel worse, as if that is even possible! Somewhere, at some point, something happened and your world started feeling chaotic and overwhelming, and since then, you've been surviving on auto pilot and doing your best not to fall apart. If this is you and you want to feel better, allow me to help.

My passion is centered on working with individuals struggling with a variety of conditions such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, women's health and trauma.
Whether you have been in therapy before or seeking it out for the first time I view this as a major step. Therapy at times can be intimidating or scary because we are faced with looking at the parts of ourselves that perhaps are not performing at their best. As part of my role I am here to make therapy less scary and assist in the direction of feeling better

I think it's important to acknowledge that we all struggle, but sometimes that struggle gets to be more often or more overwhelming than we know how to handle and we can benefit from an additional source of support, understanding and obtain some resources and skills that can help reduce our distress. We can work together to improve your ability to cope with daily life stressors or major life events with individual or family counseling. I have over 14 years experience working with adults, adolescents and children struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and other difficult situations.

“Human beings are never going to perfect.... The best we can do is to keep asking for help and accepting it when you can and if you keep on doing that, you’ll always be moving towards better.” Leslie Higgins/Ted Lasso. If you’ve been feeling like you want to stay in bed all day, can’t remember the last time you washed your hair, or thoughts of tomorrow’s “to do’s” have you up all night, maybe therapy could help. Or maybe you’re just feeling a little stuck or stagnant and need a little help bringing some movement into your life…therapy could move you forward.

The biggest lessons I learned and I utilize today in psychotherapy practice is that every individual is the expert in their own life and with the right guidance can tap into their strengths to achieve their goals. People need a safe space to work through what is bothering them. The most important question is not "What is wrong with you?", but rather, "What has happened to you?" We are shaped and influenced by our experiences. At times, unfortunately, this comes out as anxiety, depression, unhealthy habits, relationship issues, and a myriad of other mental health issues.

I work with adults around issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma/systemic trauma, relationship problems, parental processing, life transitions, women’s issues and more.
Being human comes with complexities of great loss, love, curiosities and questions. We may reach a point in their experience where they feel like they are not living as their best and most authentic self. This can leave some feeling depressed, anxious, angry and fearful. As well as having ruminating thoughts, social withdrawal and being overwhelmed by it all. While working alongside a therapist, I believe that you can create a healthier and deeper understanding of the self, learn/practice communication skills, and process trauma to navigate and gain depth and perspective on the complexities of life.

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I know there must be a million thoughts running through your brain right now. Sometimes our thoughts can feel like they are on an out-of-control highway or racetrack. We may not know which direction to take, which flag to fly or which repair to begin with. I want to congratulate you on taking that first step: researching who can you talk to. Now, let's chat and figure out what our next steps are. Remember; if you're not speaking it, you're storing it and that gets heavy.

Sometimes in life we are faced with situations or circumstances out of our control. Overcoming these challenges can be a burden too much for some to manage on their own. As a clinical social worker and registered play therapist, I strive to be that person for anyone needing to conquer these challenges.
