The human experience can be filled with joy but also suffering, this chapter of your life is causing turmoil but you are resilient. Bouts of depression, negative self talk, daily anxieties and struggling with low self esteem no longer serve you, allow yourself to work alongside a trained professional to guide you through the process of healing. Therapy can help you increase confidence, empower you to create boundaries and aid in your conscious understanding of the interconnectedness of your mind, body and spirit.

We will explore your unmet needs and help you express yourself with more vulnerability, confidence, and authenticity.

Finding the right therapist is like uncovering a new pair of comfy socks. Once you find the right therapist, life gets better! For 18 years, I've been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in stress/anger management, navigating relationships, and healing trauma.

Life can be challenging and it can sometimes feel that overcoming the obstacles around us are nearly impossible. Beginning counseling can be an incredibly hard and a challenging experience, but it can also be rewarding. Sometimes it can be challenging to reach out and ask for help. By starting your search for a therapist, you are choosing to face the challenges and search for answers and support with your mental health. I primarily provide individual therapy for individuals of all ages, but I love to incorporate family therapy sessions when needed focusing on supporting my client and their loved ones.

Life is something, isn’t it? Moments of joy, accomplishment, and meaning can feel fleeting, and many of us find we spend much of our time wondering if we’re the only ones struggling to picture what contentment even looks like. Actually maintaining it in our daily lives can seem impossible. We look around at our families, our careers, our friendships, our relationships with our children, and we see areas where there is room for growth and change. The difference between noticing what we want to improve and having the strength, support, and courage to actually do it can feel vast. And lonely.

If you’re reading this, you already have the motivation to heal, the insight to know you need a change and the resourcefulness to seek support. You knew enough to get yourself to this page and I know enough to take you through the journey you may be scared of and yet eager for. Working as a specialist in eating disorders and trauma, I understand the highs and lows of being self-critical to the point of self-punishment, blaming yourself for the situation you are in and being stuck in an endless cycle of overriding your gut instinct in order to please others. Recognize that your intuition got you to these words.

One thing is certain, starting therapy is overwhelming. I strive to provide a comfortable, confidential space for you to express your needs and feel heard.
