I believe that God's given us the ability and infinite capacity to overcome almost anything that we face in our lives. Unfortunately, sometimes we get stuck. We get stuck by the things that we're taught or the situations that we've experienced or maybe even trauma. We also get stuck when we find ourselves in unhealthy environments like being isolated or trying to take on every situation alone. Finding ourselves stuck definitely feels helpless, but often it can feel hopeless as well.

Initially, I went into this field because I came from an unstable background and have struggled with mental health myself. I know seeking help is not easy. With a background in providing therapy and prescribing medications, I have a unique perspective on mental health. Everyone deserves compassion, open-mindedness, and respect. You deserve to be seen as a person of value no matter what you tell me. Each of us are individual and has a right to be treated as such.

For the past two decades, clients have come to me at every stage of their lifes. I refer to this as their "beginnings, middles and ends" of their lifetime. I see teenagers struggling to be understood and truly heard. I help couples after the "honeymoon is over" , I assist parents with major life obstacles, I help people make difficult decisions about their careers and even guide them at the end of their lives. With each stage, I ask the client what they want out of their experience with therapy and give the client the power and voice. I guide them with their goals and help create a safe place to explore their emotions and options.

Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed? Are you walking around suffering in silence? Do you keep everything that's bothering you bottled up on the inside? Does your exterior self-appear to be strong but your interior self-feel weak? Are you showing up for everyone else but struggle to show up for yourself? Are you a worrier? Do you feel like you’re in this world alone? Are you ready to Exhale? If so, put yourself first and give yourself permission to unlearn some things that you have learned, get familiar with the unfamiliar, and get uncomfortable with being comfortable.
