I have always loved figuring out what makes people tick. I just imagine an onion and peeling back all the different layers until you get to the core of what the essence is. I am and have always been very patient. Life has shown me the answers will come when they are ready to.
I am calm and collected in emergency situations. When things and situations are chaotic, someone has to be calm in the moment and that someone is me.
I have always loved books and reading and a dog is a must in my life. Over the years, I have explored my passion to discover more about others and the world around me through travel, art, literature, fashion and food.
I believe all the answers are within us. It would be my honor to help you find the wisdom within you. My non-judgmental and open nature made it safe for others to share.
I can help you learn how to trust again, feel your emotions, accept your past, live in the present and look forward to what your future holds.
Depression can often feel like a dark, forbidding cloud that can zap your energy, rob you of being able to feel any emotion and take away any pleasure in things you used to enjoy.
Anxiety is a future oriented sense of worry attached to “what ifs.” It is not something that has actually happened.
You may not even know you have been traumatized. You just grow up thinking what went on in your own family was the same thing other families were going through. It is your “normal”.
The reality is you can’t out run, self-harm, numb or dissociate yourself out of what has happened. But you already know that because you more than likely tried one or all of these.
Loss can be many things, from losing a loved one to a lost opportunity to grieving a piece of ourselves that no longer exists.
Let’s talk through the transition you are going through and what the struggles are. I can listen to what you are saying with an empathetic ear, giving you a safe place for you to air your problems and provide you the help you need.
Telehealth is very effective for many mental health challenges and not appropriate for others, such as someone who is experiencing visual or audio hallucinations, having thoughts of suicide or self-harm and thinking about acting on those.
Relations get to the point of being on life support because each person is stuck at the point they were wounded as a child. The way to a better relationship is doing your own work and untangling your childhood wounds.
Are you cheating on yourself with your career? If work is your #1 priority and you need your daily fix or you go into withdrawal, then you probably are.
If if felt like no one could see or hear you in your family growing up, I can help you learn how to give yourself what you did not get.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapies that address childhood trauma and PTSD, sexual abuse, grief/loss counseling, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.
