You’re resilient and strong, but you have some unresolved trauma from earlier in life that still bothers you. You’ve coasted, you’re high functioning anxious/depressed with a tough past. You’ve settled, and you’re fine. You keep busy and focus on others around you. Maybe the past creeps into your present day, creating barriers or difficulty in connecting with others, and trusting people. Maybe it’s hard to hold down a job, establish healthy habits, or maintain healthy relationships. Maybe you don’t know what makes you happy or how to even get there. Maybe you’ve been sweeping everything under the rug for years.
Here’s the truth. Prioritizing your mental health and wellbeing isn’t selfish, you’re worth being the best you, and there is no better time to start. Putting others first all the time isn’t always a strength. Frequently it’s a crutch, a way to avoid dealing with your own needs.
With therapy, I want you to be proud of the person you are, and find acceptance and joy in being the person underneath your armor. Let’s figure out how to be your authentic self and love your life. You’re worth it! I believe that it's never too late to change your life for the best. You just have to decide it's time to stop settling for "Good Enough."

I enjoy working with clients with unresolved trauma, depression, and anxiety symptoms. I am very client centered, and utilize many different modalities during therapy sessions. These could include CBT, EMDR, art therapy interventions, play therapy interventions, IFS, etc. I meet clients where they are, without judgement, and provide support to those who want to stop settling for "good enough."
