In a world full of people, you may be feeling alone, misunderstood, or not truly seen by those around you.

Our emotions have a tremendous impact on our health and sense of well-being. Some people go through life feeling lost or stuck, struggling in their relationships and careers, not understanding what is happening or why they feel the way they do. Whether clients are feeling distressed, overwhelmed or discouraged from a current situation or a chronic problem that never seems to get resolved, I help them find the courage and confidence to overcome challenges and reach for their goals.

Being called strong feels more like an insult than a compliment these days. You’re tired of being strong because in reality you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, unseen, and uncared for. Of course, you have friends. People say they love you. Everyone admires how successful you are and praises you for all you’ve accomplished, but you’re always questioning yourself. “Do I have any value outside of my titles,You feel stuck, but you also don’t believe you have a reason to feel bad because God has blessed you with so much. So instead of being “ungrateful,” you suck it up, grin and bear it, keep it moving. Suffering in silence along the way.

The experience of life has many emotions...joy, excitement, fear, sadness, or grief, to name just a few. When negative emotions become overwhelming, it helps to talk to someone who can be objective, unbiased, and supportive. My aim in therapy is to explore the feelings defining your life, from your perspective, while in a safe and caring environment. Together, we'll explore your existing strengths and abilites, discover new ways to use or enhance your coping skills, and help you to build hope and resiliency through all of the phases of your adult life.

Most of the time, when you find yourself here looking for help, you’ve been needing support for some time. It could be something relatively new, like a big change or loss, or it could be things you’ve been carrying with you for a long time. It might feel difficult to nail down, but whatever it is, it’s leaving you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, even hopeless. In therapy, it’s my job to help you sort it all out and find your best way forward. We can get to work solving the problem at hand, or we can work towards you gaining a better understanding of yourself. You get to choose. Our work is about you.

In a world that often values toughness, being a highly sensitive and soft-hearted person can feel like a burden. We might say "yes" when we really mean "no". And we may feel like we have to act differently to fit in, even if it means putting others before ourselves. Sometimes it can feel tough to find our inner courage, speak up for what we want, and create positive boundaries. This can be especially true when we're striving for success in our careers, supporting our loved ones emotionally, or navigating big life changes like pregnancy and the postpartum period.
