Life is a process & change isn't easy. We can all benefit from gaining new perspectives. While you don't have control of the cards you're dealt, your power lies in how you respond. In addition to talk therapy, I'm also trained in art therapy, which can be incorporated if interested. Art therapy offers endless opportunities for self-expression & is helpful for working on internal issues & processing/releasing what may be difficult to put into words. Life is full of lessons & we can choose to use the challenges & problems we face as opportunities to grow & evolve. Therapy can instill a sense of hope to rise & thrive above dark times.

I have had the privilege of being able to help different people of all ages - children, adolescents, adults, older adults - in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. My aim has always been to provide caring, compassionate support that helps clients on their journey towards improving their quality of life despite the challenges they may face. It is worth noting, however, that I find that I work best with adult clients who present with depression, anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, and/or significant life issues or changes they may be experiencing.

Don't you love when your doctor tells you to "reduce the stress in your life". Life in general is stressful, right? Relationships can become stressful. Work can be stressful. Kids can be stressful. Anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, and lack of effective ways to cope will influence your need for counseling. Everyone needs someone to vent to and therapy provides you not only with a way to express your frustrations, but it also helps you learn how to cope better with the things that stress you out! Eliminating stress is impossible however learning better ways to cope is not and that is something I can help you work on.

Life has been pretty wild lately. If you find yourself feeling totally lost or completely overwhelmed, you are not alone. Having an objective ear to talk to can be incredibly helpful and calming. Whether you are looking for a safe space to vent, or for someone to help you gain a new perspective, I'm ready to help you find your way. When you're ready to take that next step, e-mail me and we can get that conversation started.
