Today's chaotic world has destabilized our sense of what is real and has really brought up the question of "what really matters?" You might be wondering why you feel anxious, disconnected, sad or numb, even when things "are going fine". Finding meaning in a world that focuses on external things, like beauty and status, is likely to leave you feeling empty. True meaning is to be found inside our pain and things we often choose to avoid. Together we can help you re-connect with your values and choose steps that move you accordingly.

Have you ever been so emotionally numb from the sight of your own reflection that you weren't even sure you existed in that moment? Have you ever burned with anger and disappointment because you had to teach your medical or mental health provider the absolute basics of what your life and your identity entail? Have you ever prevented yourself from sharing who you are with the most important people in your life out of an intense fear of what they might do or say in response? Have you ever been so hurt or terrified that you walked away from that experience feeling like you aren't the same person you were before it happened?

Many people see therapy as a one-sided conversation, full of psychobabble and jargon. That is definitely not me! I want to help you achieve the solutions and life changes you are looking for while learning about yourself in new ways. Life is too short to surrender to depression, bad relationship patterns, or let trauma control us. Therapy gives us new tools to deal with life on life’s terms and the benefit of an objective, third-person perspective. We absolutely can be free of emotional pain and find meaning in our lives if we believe change is possible, we want to change, and we are willing to do the work.
