I know how scary it can be to start therapy and talk through your worries and struggles, but I believe challenging ourselves to step outside of our comfort zone can create positive changes in our lives! I promise to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and safe. My goal is to promote unconditional positive regard, genuineness, and mutual respect with all of my clients. I believe everyone has their own story, struggles, and goals - there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to counseling approaches. Together, we can explore your needs and tailor approaches specific to you.

Did you experience a recent traumatic event, like a frightening car accident or sudden death of a loved one. Were you raised in a chaotic or abusive home. Unresolved trauma can lead to flashbacks, a sense of being disconnected from others, mood swing. Some survivors of trauma feel like they are always waiting for the other shoe to drop or like they always have to have their guard up around others. If you have felt trapped by your past trauma or even beyond repair because of the traumatic life experiences you have endured then I can help. I am passionate about helping people resolve trauma so they can live a life full of meaning.

Do you worry all the time? Do worry, stress or fear interfere with your life? Are you your own harshest critic, never able to please yourself, feeling like you're never good enough? Is depression taking the joy out of your life? You might be feeling like you just can't take it anymore; like you just don't have the energy to try anymore. What might your life be like if you could silence your inner critic? If you could just stop feeling so irritated or angry? To wake up refreshed and eager to face the day?

It takes a lot of courage to step outside one's comfort zone to seek help when struggling. Therapy makes personal growth, healing, and positive change possible. I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety disorders, mood disorders, neurodiverse conditions, suicidal ideations, and interpersonal relationship concerns. I use a client-centered approach to promote an authentic, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment for you to work through any troubles you may be having.

Do you feel like you are not living to your full potential? Do you feel unhappy? Are you being held back by old patterns that no longer serve you? So many of us feel held down by stress and fear that we forget how to be happy. My desire as a therapist is to provide assistance and encouragement for exploring your personal stories as a way of coping with pain and finding meaning.
