Relationships

At times life's challenges can feel overwhelming, overbearing and exhausting. Whatever the reason you are seeking counseling at this time, there is hope, there is healing and you don't have to fight this alone. Therapy is a safe-haven, where you can feel heard, understood, and validated. My goal is to provide positive psychology, focus on your strenghts rather than weaknesses and provide an environment wherein we can openly process your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors without fear of judgement.

Trauma and PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that may develop following a traumatic or life-threatening situation. Some of these events include being in a war, the unexpected death of a person you love, rape or assault, a plane crash, or experiencing a natural disaster. The typical psychological response to a traumatic experience is shock or experiencing acute stress.  Dealing with PTSD can create many of emotional challenges, and in some cases, these may be so severe that your health can be negatively affected. This makes it critical to address this condition immediately and work to find effective treatments and techniques to allow you to cope better in your daily life.

Self-esteem issues

I provide individual and family counseling for clients seeking help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and loss, betrayal trauma, stage of life transitions, blended families, and coping skills. I also work with teen issues including bullying, cutting, suicidal thoughts, and academic stress.

Anxiety / depression

Do feelings of sadness and stress make it difficult for you to function productively? Are events from the past negatively impacting you? Challenges like these can make day-to-day activities difficult, resulting in damaged relationships and feelings of failure. Together, we can explore these issues and help you find a sense of peace and purpose.
