Do you feel unheard or misunderstood? Are the weights of life a little too heavy right now? Are there things from your past that are too difficult to talk about but still haunt you? Do you see certain memes and feel seen? What about funny personal stories that others think are traumatizing? Are you in a relationship and searching for peace but instead find that you do not understand each other? I’m a good listener; I can hear you. I can help you understand yourself and others around you. Peace in yourself and your interpersonal relationships is the constant goal. Life happens; you’re not a messed up person, you’re not crazy - you have lived experiences and need a hand processing life. We all do! Connect with me so we can get started! Therapy should be fun as well as challenging. In a world where we constantly have to pour, everyone deserves a space solely catered to them and their growth. I believe that our thoughts affect our actions. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help uncover core beliefs that will change actions and a psychodynamic theory that explores unconscious thoughts and a trip to the past to see how it affects you today! I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and can use that to help you continue your healing journey with trauma. I think therapy should feel like talking to a wise friend; it does not have to be awkward. I believe in creating a safe space where you can be vulnerable; however, I also believe in confronting thoughts and beliefs with compassion.
