Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma

Do you feel like you can’t get away from the worries or sad thoughts that are constantly running in your brain? Things like doing homework, spending time with friends, sleeping or even taking a shower can feel exhausting when you’re dealing with anxiety and depression. The hardest part of this can be the feeling that no one understands or the fear that people are judging you. You’d like someone to listen and support you. Well, therapy is a great place to start.

I view therapy as a place where you can bring anything you want to the table and we can look at it and sort it out together. It’s amazing how much better you can feel when you can speak of the things that hurt or bother you in a safe and protected space. In therapy we can work to meet your goals and help you become mentally healthy using mindfulness tools, therapeutic feedback, brain training skills, etc. My goals are your goals and I’m here to help.

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.” — Bessel A. van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma

Living with trauma can feel like you’ll never be free of the pain or even happy again. Moments and memories that should bring us joy feel robbed by experiences that left us hurting. Although it is terrifying to let someone in and to confront the source of our pain, we know that it is essential and can ultimately bring peace. Therapy is an excellent place to come to meet these feelings, body sensations and fears and put you on the path to take your power back and own your story. We will work together using techniques to help you strengthen your positive thought patterns, improve your coping strategies and learn to love yourself completely. I am dedicated to doing all that I can to help you feel better about yourself and about your life. You are stronger than you think and are worthy of love and belonging!
