Life can be challenging, especially if you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, and overwhelming stress. These issues can manifest as uncontrollable worry, panic attacks, recurring painful thoughts and memories, or overwhelming emotions that interfere with your day-to-day life and relationships. You might feel like you are living life according to anxiety instead of what really matters to you. You might feel like you can't move forward because of what you have been through. Or, you might feel like no matter what you do, you cannot figure out how to fix what is causing your anxiety and suffering in the first place.

Painful life experiences have affected your daily life; impacting your sleep, decreasing your self esteem and increasing anxiety. It's hard to know what to do; friends give advice but it doesn't seem to be enough. It's okay to reach out and get another opinion. Continuing to live with high levels of stress and anxiety can impact physical health, so taking care of your mental health is as important as your physical health. I can help you get on a better path that feels more in line with the person you want to be, whether you are worried about yourself or your child.

You often feel misunderstood, may have a family that is unconventional, and you would like to talk about your life with someone that is unbiased. Your family may be one of the last places you feel you can take things to. Even as years have passed, you still have strong emotional reactions to triggers that bring up past traumas, and you just want to lessen the pain you feel inside; the pain that has been persisting for years. You’re a good listener, understanding, and willing to incorporate different perspectives into your healing journey, but you feel as though no one has ever taken you under their wing. You feel desperately alone.

I'm interested in working with you to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe non-judgmental environment where you can get the help you need.

It takes a lot of courage to see a therapist and share your painful, angry and anxious feelings; a good therapeutic relationship can become a foundation which you can use to make significant life changes, decrease depression and anxiety, improve your relationships, and achieve goals that really matter to you.

I have long held the belief we could all be thinking about and caring for our mental health all the time, not only when we’re sick. This has formed my ultimate goal through which I approach therapy: to help people better connect with themselves and others. Making space for the hardest parts of life is just as important as building community, discovering and using your strengths, and building a meaningful connection with yourself and those around you. Whether you are deeply struggling, looking to grow with a partner, or deepen your understanding of self and designing a life in alignment with that, this is a space for you.
