Let’s face it, change happens, and it happens fast. Sometimes we aren't equipped to handle change. And it’s that that we are not up for the challenge, but that challenges emerge when a person attempts to make sense out of change using skills that worked in the past and are no longer meeting their current need. In my role, I take a warm, directive stance to not only challenge, but also empower individuals to reimagine their role as the expert on their life, by creating new alternative perspectives and establishing mastery of new tools and skillset to increase their quality of life.

Do you ever feel like you've lost your joy or that you have no purpose? Life never stops happening and some days we manage it better than others. Sometimes it may feel like you're stuck on a hamster wheel that you can't get off. You are not alone; I've even been there myself. We all have roles that we must fulfill and responsibilities that we must manage, but sometimes that consumes us and we lose ourselves. I once read that "we sometimes put so much pressure on ourselves that life can feel like acting instead of living". When was the last time you got to take off your mask and show your true self?

As a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate student, I want nothing more than to understand my clients, keeping in mind the families they come from, the relationships they build, and the systems of oppression that affect their mental well-being. Therapy is not a one size fits all solution for those struggling with their mental health. My goal is to create a safe collaborative environment where your racial, gender, sexual, and religious identities are taken into account and every therapeutic method used is tailored uniquely to you and your human experience.

It can be really scary not feeling like yourself. It’s disappointing to exist without truly living or feeling a sense of purpose. It’s very painful and lonely losing a loved one/ending close relationships. There can also be a lot of depression, anxiety, and grief that comes with feeling stuck, letting go or dealing with situations you can't control. Without the proper support, life stressors can take a tremendous toll on your mental and emotional health and lead to trouble with your relationships as well as your overall functioning.
