I believe the therapeutic relationship can be both healing and empowering for individuals.

Often traumatic experiences change our way of life forcing us to define a “New Normal”; I will provide therapeutic support to combat issues such as anxiety, depression, frustration, and trauma.

The people I thoroughly enjoy working with the most are those that are tired of living a less than desirable life. They may not be sure how to get to an empowered, joyful, passionate way of life yet. They can sometimes describe their journey as traumatic, and they use words like “depressed”, “fearful”, and/or “anxious”. However, there’s something tugging inside of them that there has to be a way out of that dark, overwhelming hole that they currently call life. They want more for themselves even if it only starts with a small glimmer of hope.

Sometimes in life we are struggling and need an accepting, affirming, supportive, and nonjudgmental space to explore, heal, and grow. Maybe you are experiencing a major change or loss in your life.

Maybe you are struggling with thoughts and behaviors that you don't know how to change. There are so many reasons why people seek help from a therapist. Through my practice I have assisted people with many different kinds of struggles, and maybe I can assist you.

Dealing with social anxiety can feel like you're trying to solve a mega-puzzle with pieces that just don't seem to fit. Trying to figure out all those unspoken social rules that others seem to easily pick up on can be super stressful. It's like everyone else got a rulebook that you didn't. This can sometimes make you feel anxious, alone, and scared of messing up socially. It is so hard to find your place when people around you don't know how much it takes to pick up a phone call, send a message, or show up at a restaurant. It can feel like being an alien among humans, and it is beyond lonely.
