It takes courage to be honest about how you're really feeling and get the resources you need while working through life issues, challenges, or traumatic experiences. In this process, clients reach out when they're navigating varying degrees of distress and overwhelm, and they're looking for further support. I work collaboratively with clients to build on their strengths, expand their ways of coping, and improve the relationships they have with themselves and others.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.
