Stuck? Sad? Worried? Stressed? Do you find yourself dealing with situations, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that you believe you have no control over or find to be completely overwhelming? Are you having trouble putting your past experiences behind you? Are you fearful of the future and of moving forward? Or maybe you want to try new things, but fear gets in the way of taking that first step? Perhaps you're stressed and trying to find balance? It’s okay; as women, we have all been there. We get it. But, you don’t have to deal with this alone. A skilled, trusted, & compassionate therapist can help you navigate these life issues.

While life events and transitions can be overwhelming and isolating, you never have to be alone. Through the therapeutic process, I will empathetically work with you to understand your goals and help guide you to wellness. I love working with ages spanning from late teens to older adults during life transitions. I feel as though we can all have a “harsh inner critic”; this critic is difficult to silence or challenge. Many times, we ask ourselves, “why did this happen” or “why do I feel this way”? When we ask ourselves “why”, we tend to reinforce shame. Think about it, “why” indicates there is just one answer.

We all have challenges in varying forms, some we can fix, others we can manage, and yet others we need some help to either fix or manage. I want to come alongside you with a spirit of collaboration to support you in fixing or managing whatever you are dealing with. I will create a safe space, a listening ear, and therapeutic feedback using evidence-based practices. I am going to be honest with you, that I am not here to fix you, but to support you in fixing or managing what you are challenged with. My style is laid back and meeting you where you are but expect to do work. I am genuine, open, compassionate, upbeat, and direct.

Embracing the uniqueness of each individual, my therapeutic approach is centered on tailored, supportive, and collaborative methods. Together, we will work to integrate profound insights and self-awareness into your behavioral patterns, fostering processed and healthy emotional reactions. In therapy, my aim is to guide you through challenging life experiences that may seem persistent. You'll gain control over your choices, heal from the past, and develop coping strategies, empowering you to overcome obstacles and reach your full potential.

Therapy serves as a guiding hand through those complex emotions and experiences. It's like unraveling a yarn ball, therapy helps make sense of the entanglements in our thoughts, emotions, & experiences. It's a process of understanding the layers that contribute to feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and process these feelings, offering support and guidance as you navigate through challenging emotions. It's a journey that involves identifying patterns, understanding the root causes of difficulties, and learning healthy coping mechanisms.

I believe that every person has the ability to break through barriers that we are faced with in life, but sometimes we may need some assistance, and this is when I come in. I enjoy helping people navigate change, promote growth, healing and restore hope. I take an active role in helping you to clarify your issues and identify an effective solution that fits your personal need. When I work with clients, I employ evidenced-based treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy, crisis-intervention, bereavement counseling, Solution-Focused Brief therapy and spiritual counseling.

I believe having healthy and whole relationships is the key to well-being and happiness. As a therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families in developing effective communication and in building meaningful connection. My approach is collaborative, practical, yet integrative, striving to help individuals utilize their strengths and understand their growing edges.

Do you find that you are repeating the same situations in life over and over again. Are you dissatisfied with the results you are getting in your relationships, work or in life. I can me help you make sense out of these areas to create something that is not only different but workable in your life.

TELEHEALTH AVAILABLE As individuals we face many situations in life that can affect us in different ways. There are times when these situations can become more difficult than others and can affect our relationships, our performance at work or school, or even in our daily activities. At this point we face a challenge to start a learning process, strengthen our coping skills and overcome these obstacles in life. Please know that you don’t have to go through this process alone. In therapy, we can work collaboratively to identify your challenges, define your goals more clearly and create a plan according to your own needs.

So, you are the one who "doesn't need anyone's help". You ignore the red flags in relationships or neglect yourself because someone needs you. You're the overwhelmed person who wears the happiness mask even though you are feeling drained, depleted or trying to heal your past traumas. Life is about transitions, and we need support getting through the rough patches. You are more resilient, capable of healing, worthy of love, and deserving of peace than you may realize. If you’re ready to reduce the stress, heal, or confidently achieve peace for a better quality of life, you're in the right place.
