Life is full of surprises that are sometimes wrapped in feelings that can truly weigh us down. Whether it's anxiety, depression, life stress, grief or past traumas- those are all curveballs that are unexpected and can make it difficult to believe that we can be in control of anything, especially our own inner peace. Therapy is a courageous journey towards cultivating internal resources that can help you with feeling connected, nurtured, and empowered to embrace change as it comes. As your therapist, it is my mission to take this journey alongside you and give you a safe space to better understand your true self.

Welcome! Let’s be real - life can feel really tricky sometimes. If you feel that things aren’t quite right and are considering therapy, you’re in the right place! Often the hardest part is acknowledging that change is possible, and that a bit of help might be necessary to get where you want to be. I consider my role as a counselor to be one of the most sacred parts of my life. There is an inherent beauty found in walking alongside people in search for safety, purpose, healing, and hope.

What could your life look like six months from now if you took a step toward healing today? Often, the hardest part is just starting. Depression, anxiety, grief, shame, and a number of other treatable concerns can leave you in a hopeless place. Are friends/family at a loss of how to help you? Are you struggling with a recent change in your life? Do you feel alone? If you remember nothing else, I want you to remember that you are more capable than you believe, and even a speck of hope is still hope.

Change is the only constant in life. Our lives are constantly changing; we ourselves are evolving. With those changes come challenges, often mental and emotional. We learn and we grow through all of these changes. However, we often feel overwhelmed, hopeless, or just generally unable to cope with things. It's easy to let the changes in life weigh us down and take control, but I want to help you grow from your struggles and all of life's changes. As John Maxwell said, “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional," so let's grow together.
