Do you feel suffocated by others’ expectations, afraid or unsure of how to ask for help, overwhelmed with commitments, unable to take a break, like you’re just trying to survive the day? Maybe you’re fed up with struggling at school/work, getting so easily overwhelmed, and having suicidal thoughts. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure though. You’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make sense of what’s happening to you and take back control. Most of all, you’re ready to regain balance in your life so you can finally breathe easy again.

Has the state of the world left you freaking exhausted? Do you drag yourself through your days at work or school with a fake smile on your face?

You want to start healing from your past childhood wounds that are creeping into the present. You want to be thriving rather than just surviving.

I work with survivors of trauma and childhood abuse, those with PTSD, and addictions. Abuse and trauma leaves a lasting impact on your body and can create symptoms like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, troubled relationships, and insomnia.

Therapy provides a time to be understood and heard in a safe, confidential place. We all have strengths and the answers inside of us, but sometimes we need help peeling back the layers. I understand this because I am a survivor of trauma too.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed or hopeless? Can you say you feel like "yourself" right now? Are you wondering where to even start the journey to healing? Everybody at some point in their lives reaches a place where the stressors of life become overwhelming and heavy. We go through life transitions that bring anxiety or grief. We question our identity or self-esteem. We feel like our faith or values aren't as beneficial as we want them to be. At these times, it’s beneficial to seek a non-judgmental space where we can feel free to sort through our thoughts and emotions.

Do you feel trapped in a story that you don't like? Do you feel powerless, misunderstood, or lacking in some way? So much of what we experience is the result of the stories we believe about ourselves. Often, we don't examine these stories to see if they're true. I want to help you break through to a more genuine understanding of yourself. We'll look for your strengths, abilities, and true interests and we'll work to discover how you can rise above the limitations you currently perceive. I have years of experience successfully coaching people with anxiety, mental health challenges and addictions. I'd be honored to work with you.

Rough times can disrupt your feelings and how you see yourself. They can also make it hard to be around other people in healthy ways. Sometimes, we don't even realize how these experiences affect us, and that can lead to automatic reactions and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Together, we'll help you gain a better understanding of your emotions and how to manage them effectively. You'll learn healthy coping mechanisms to deal with stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions and reduce emotional reactivity while enhancing your emotional resilience.

You've started looking for a therapist because something is getting in the way of your leading the life you want: worsening anxiety, a life event, feeling down, stuck or unhappy. I offer individualized counseling based on the personality, needs and goals of my patients. I don't judge. I will be your biggest cheerleader to help you overcome whatever hurdles are in your way. Everyone wants to lead life to the fullest, and we should feel worthy of that life. All too often I hear patients say, "I don't deserve.." or "I'm not good enough." We get trapped in comparing ourselves to others and hearing past messages of discouragement.
