There is a reason why the safety protocols on airplanes instruct us to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first in case of an emergency. We can not care for others if we don’t focus on our own needs, even with the very limited time most of us have daily. Yet many of us get stuck on a hamster wheel and end up giving and giving until we simply have nothing left. This in conjunction with trauma can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. My goal is to disrupt that cycle by providing a safe space for my clients to work through their most vulnerable emotions and emerge ready to tackle life’s challenges.
I have spent my career working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families and use cognitive behavioral therapy in conjunction with motivational counseling to elicit real and lasting change. The objective is to access your inner strength and use it to examine and mend maladaptive patterns, whether they be emotional, relational, or trauma-based.
Your past does not have to dictate your future. I believe that no matter what you have experienced, you can lead a happy and fulfilling life. I want to help you feel powerful and empowered to heal.
