In therapy, you will learn how to manage your mood, develop greater awareness, lean into self-acceptance, overcome trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships.

Life can be exciting and beautiful, and can also be full of pain and challenges. It can feel overwhelming trying to navigate life on our own, and taking the step to seek additional support takes great courage and strength. Whether you are struggling due to painful past events, ongoing mental health concerns, current life transitions, or concerns about your child’s mental health or behaviors; the good news is that change is possible.

Emotions are an important part of life, and help us to connect with others. Sometimes our experiences with intense emotions can take away from our ability to clearly communicate with each other or appreciate ourselves. Do you find it difficult to enjoy life in the moment? too focused on the past or worried about the future? Do you wish you could connect with your family or partner in a way that doesn't lead to conflict or slammed doors? Whether you are experiencing relationship conflicts, depression, anxiety, anger, feelings of low self esteem or sex related concerns, your feelings do not have to control your life.

Being human isn’t easy. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or chronic stress-congratulations on giving yourself the gift of therapy. Life's stresses, unresolved childhood experiences, and trauma can leave you feeling overwhelmed, numb, and disconnected from yourself, others, and life itself. Shifting from self-judgement and shame to a place of curiosity and compassion is key. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can reconnect and gain a better understanding of your thoughts and behaviors as well as the life experiences that made you, uniquely YOU!

Do you feel overwhelmed with some of your life circumstances? Not sure where to start? As an LCSW, I take a holistic approach to mental health, with a focus on regaining connection between the mind, body and spirit. Having worked in the health and fitness industry for over 15 years, I have found the importance of addressing each area of a person’s life for complete and total wellness. Think of a wheel for a moment….If that wheel has a flat tire, bent spoke, or missing part, that wheel isn’t moving forward. If one area is out of balance, it can directly impact the rest of your wheel/life. We find balance in building resiliency.
