Challenges are Opportunities for Growth
I know you rolled your eyes, but it's true. We all want to be happy, successful, and living well, but sometimes life throws things at us that feel too much. Having a safe space to talk and work through your feelings can make a major difference. You might be surprised at just how relieving it is to voice your worries and fears instead of holding them in. Everyone wants to be heard and feel safe and supported in their most vulnerable moments. Having the space to say you're afraid or angry propels you forward. Being able to talk through what a career change or relationship ending might mean for your life is needed.

-
-

- deal with conflict more productively

Areas of Focus: Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
I have a strong dedication within the counseling field to focus on anxiety, depression, and trauma. I recognize the significant impact these issues can have on your everyday life, and my aim is to help you navigate them with empathy, knowledge, and effective strategies. Together we’ll center on uncovering your inner resilience and fostering the healing process.
My training emphasizes the significance of the psychodynamic perspective, delving into the root causes of your unconscious behaviors. My specialization lies in empowering individuals to break free from the cycle of self-doubt, guiding you toward a life filled with purpose and meaning. Through personalized therapy, we will embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and self-love, unlocking your full potential.
