You feel overwhelmed and burnt out by the world’s expectations. If you're honest, you feel lost and alone, and your relationships are suffering. You wish you were free from the lies you’ve been believing – the thing is, they don’t feel like lies anymore; they’ve become background noise and they feel so true. Whether it’s about who you are or how you're showing up in your relationships, there's a voice telling you that you're not good enough, not worth it, and don’t deserve to be happy. My work is focused on helping you grow in self-awareness, knowing your value, and uprooting destructive beliefs while replacing them with new truths.

We don't have to manage, deal with, cope with mental health issues once we've found the mental health that's within us. Within? Where else would it be? By means of a simple and gentle educational process clients reawaken to the beauty of living. The point of achieving goals, etc. is to wind up being happy. We wouldn't go through all the struggles in our live to end up feeling worse, would we. As it turns out, being happy and at peace leads to greater mental clarity which allows us to make improved life decisions. Have provided 3-principles based education for corporations, groups, individuals, and mental health professionals.

You put a lot energy into taking care of others. You tell everyone you're "good" or "fine" so much it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore. In reality, you feel stressed and overwhelmed from supporting everyone else. You silence your own needs and find yourself becoming resentful when others don't notice you're drowning. You struggle with asking for help because you're used to being independent and doing it all alone. This leaves you feeling invisible, alone, and disconnected from those around you. You're ready to make a change, to feel more connected, and learn how to get your needs met.

I treat high-functioning clients experiencing emotional or physical stress, due to problems in work; relationships (boundaries, assertiveness, anger management); life transitions; or life changes related to loss (such as death, disability/illness, or divorce).

I also see couples motivated to either improve their current relationship or prepare for a future together. I use an active interactional style to provide support, insight, and practical strategies for coping with life's challenges.

Over the past couple of years, I have spent my time learning about how adolescents and young adults operate in society and what life transitions create stress and anxiety.

I specialize in supporting people who have experienced trauma. We all experience hard things, and therapy will not change our past.

My clients seek to transform their daily experiences impacted by trauma, and strive for a different way of living.

My clients are ideally willing to explore the impact of early developmental influences and current life stressors that contribute to learned behavior patterns that may be ineffective and influence day-to-day suffering. I believe our life experiences influence us but do not have to define us or determine how we will function in the world. Additionally, we all have multiple identities, and we must learn to thrive in a world that is often ill-prepared to treat us with the respect and kindness we deserve. I understand the systemic obstacles often faced by people from diverse communities and seek to empower and support my clients.
