You feel like you don’t know yourself.

When life gets challenging, we turn on our survival mode. This auto-pilot can help us navigate through life, but it does not allow us to reflect on our choices and understand ourselves. You struggle to get out of bed, getting through the day seems impossible, and your mind races as you try to fall asleep. Time passes and you begin to wonder if you have always been this way. You don’t know if you’ll ever feel good about the life you are living.

You feel like no one understands you.

You feel alone, even in the presence of others. You have a hard time deciding what you want. Even if you could decide, you don’t know where to begin. You want to fix the problems you have with your friends, your partner, your family or with yourself, but it seems too overwhelming. Your boundaries aren’t working for you and you don’t feel satisfied in your relationships. It feels like you are doomed to be alone, unsupported, and unwanted.

I will empower you to live the life you deserve.

I provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore your needs, difficulties, deepest desires, and fears. In this space you will be able to share things you have a hard time even admitting to yourself. I will guide and push you as we work together to grow your self-confidence and find relief from the anxiety and depression that is holding you back. You will develop your strengths and learn new skills to help you navigate through life’s challenges with direction and purpose.

Are you ready?

Starting therapy can feel terrifying. Uncovering the deepest parts of yourself in front of a stranger is incredibly brave. If you’ve made it this far, it’s because you are ready to live a life that satisfies you. You are ready to feel like yourself and improve the relationships in your life. You are ready to make these changes and it all starts today.
