it doesn’t have to feel like this

Are you wondering how your life could be different or better? Are you struggling to take this next step due to having a bad experience with a previous therapist or social worker? Maybe you're overwhelmed and confused. Where do you begin? Talking to friends and family didn’t seem to help much. Together we can begin to change that today.

Are you irritable or angry? Maybe you just don’t have the energy to do anything. Or is it that toxic relationships and a lack of boundaries are pulling you down? Maybe they’re not toxic, and you’re just dissatisfied with your family and friend relationships. Feeling stuck? Is all of this having an impact on your work and personal life? Let’s take a closer look. Could some of this possibly be caused by trauma, hurt, and betrayal?

You don’t have to suffer alone behind closed doors.

 

The Struggle is Real

I get it. Sometimes things get in your way, or there's some reluctance, which can be caused by the unknown. Are you wondering about what it’s like to be in therapy? What do you even talk about? Is she going to be analyzing me or blaming me for my problems? Does she have a therapist? How long will it take for me to notice changes? It’s hard to trust the process when you don’t know what it will look like. All totally understandable.

It's possible to feel better, like a weight has been lifted off your chest, like hope is on the horizon. My goal is to help you to get the skills you need to help you now and to help you overcome obstacles in the future. Lasting change.
