You never learned how to set healthy boundaries, which has led to people-pleasing behavior, low self-esteem and difficulty having your needs met in relationships. Maybe you've coped with painful feelings with food, drugs or bad relationships. You deserve to be valued for who you are and not what you do for others. The opportunity to show up in your life as your true self can feel both exciting and terrifying. I offer a warm, safe environment to process painful feelings that may arise during this process.

Morning Availability Only - I believe people possess intrinsic strength and inner wisdom, leading them to identify solutions for their lives. However, trauma, stress, and other problems sometimes get in the way of coping with the day-to-day of life's demands. As challenges arise, so does the need for support. As a therapist, I aim to help individuals and couples improve their relationship with themselves and each other. I enjoy helping clients through dilemmas such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, sexual identity, and relational ruptures.

Clients that seeks our support come due to unresolved trauma experienced at some point within their life that has led to changes within the person's behavior, judgment, emotional functioning, well-being, and interpersonal interactions with others. These individuals seek assistance with understanding their problems experienced, support in developing a treatment plan, and learning coping skill and other techniques to minimize the impact of trauma within their life.

Things aren’t going so great right now. You’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and can’t seem to catch a break. It’s difficult to keep your cool and the list of to-do’s just keeps growing. Perhaps you feel guilt or shame around this and wonder how others seemingly have it so easy. You know this suffering can’t be all there is to life, but are lost in how to move forward. I’m here to help. My mission as your therapist is to work with you to create a safe, judgement free environment where you can re-discover your authentic self and build a life full of purpose and meaning.

Feeling like you are not living a life that is authentic to your sense of Self can leave you feeling like you are not living a life of purpose. "Who am I, or I am more than this, or I don't know who I am suppose to be" are words that can leave you feeling lost, empty, and full of fear. That fear can manifest in anger, abuse, violence and self-loathing. Through working with me, I can help you learn to love yourself, surrender negative thoughts and teach you how to get to your best Self.
