Do you ever shy away from seeking help? Maybe thinking "I shouldn't complain, my life isn't that bad compared to others." When we stop comparing and focus solely on ourselves we can move toward real change. We can't compare life situations, traumas, or problems. We all have struggles, but that doesn't make yours any less real. Your challenges are real. Your feelings are valid and real. Life is complex and taking the first step toward feeling better takes courage. I believe in creating a safe space for healing. I aspire to empower you and hold your pain with grace as you move toward optimal well-being.
My approach to therapy is client-centered. You determine what the focus is. I have interests in anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, life transitions, and trauma. We will draw upon behavioral, acceptance, and solution-focused therapies best suited for your needs. I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an eye movement trauma therapy.
I have a deep understanding of how overwhelming life can be at times. My process is grounded in openness, honesty, and humor. We will work together to apply your unique strengths in overcoming obstacles. I encourage you to take a chance on your well-being and reach out. I look forward to meeting you!
