Is there a part of you that whispers, or shouts to yourself: “I am not good enough”? Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, discouraged, worthless, or even like you are broken? I want to help you cope with these often-overpowering feelings and support you in embracing your worth and “humanness”. I work with individuals who struggle with these thoughts and feelings to help them reclaim their sense of wholeness and recognize their inherent worth. If believing that you are worthy, whole, and “imperfectly perfect” sounds like an impossible task, rest assured that I will unwaveringly believe all of these things about you, even if you can’t yet!

If you are someone who values self-exploration and is ready to move forward, then we are a great fit! When you work with me, you’ve got someone who will not only see you, but someone who will “hold up the mirror” for you to help you develop a deeper and more loving understanding of yourself. In our work together we will support past, present and future you!

We will process and examine your past and change patterns that are no longer serving you, you will learn effective coping skills and regain of sense of hope and control, which will allow you to reach your goals and cultivate your ideal life. I welcome you to call or text me for more information about therapy with me. I look forward to connecting with you!
