You might be experiencing a season of life that feels confusing, overwhelming, or maybe one that feels riddled with anxiety or feeling down. Perhaps themes, beliefs, or traumas you experienced in the past are showing up in the present, dimming your hope for the future. Or maybe you're in a relationship where you're having the same argument on repeat or the distance between you and your loved one/s feels too much to bear. You might be struggling to slow down in this fast-paced world. Whatever the concern, I'm excited that you're taking this courageous step into change by seeking out an ally to explore your experiences with.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families 18+. I use an integrative approach that draws from trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and attachment-based approaches and will partner with you in creating a deeper relationship with yourself and others.
If you are looking for a safe space to be seen, heard, and validated while doing the tough but very rewarding work of self-inquiry and therapeutic growth, feel free to email or call me to set up a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. I am currently accepting new individual, couples, and family clients.
