Sometimes life has us so overwhelmed that words evade us. We can be drenched in emotion, or we can be numb to it all. Our struggles manifest uniquely according to the biological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual elements in our lives. We might feel lost and alone, but it is important to remember that we are not. I wish to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you, in which we can explore together. We may attempt to connect words with feelings, or we may let silence hold its power; the conscious and the unconscious are both invited. Through our relationship we may discover new pathways of resilience.

WHY THERAPY? Finding a therapist or counselor can be an anxiety-provoking pursuit. In my experience, people seek treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety/stress, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and so on. Seeking therapy is an act of maturity and strength! It says that you recognize that you are unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and that you ultimately want to function and feel better.

You might look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, your mind doesn’t slow down. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, and feel stuck in patterns, especially in relationships, that you don’t fully understand and can’t seem to change.
Many of the people I work with are in their 20s and 30s, navigating anxiety, dating, career pressure, and major life transitions. Even when things seem “fine,” it can feel exhausting to constantly second-guess yourself, feel emotionally overwhelmed, or question your direction.
