My Approach to Helping
You're exhausted from trying to hold it all together. You are so good at taking care of others that you forgot to each lunch today. You feel like your brain is constantly jumping from one thing to the next. No matter how hard you try, you can't seem to get in control of what you need to be focused on, and you haven't had the space to consider what you want to be doing.
You're terrified that you’ll never feel in control of your racing thoughts and spiraling emotions and that they will keep you from the peace and enjoyment you long for. You begin the day with your inner critic telling you that you are already behind and end the day wondering if the people in your life really enjoy your company.
You want to feel confident in who you are and have control over your emotions. You want to feel creative again and have the space to remember what "fun" is. You want to cultivate deep, meaningful relationships with the people you care about. You want to live a life that feels fulfilling–one where your goals are within reach and you are successful and thriving. I can help you.
I will work with you to identify strategies that work with your strengths. You are the expert in your life, and with the right tools and support, you can start to understand yourself better and feel in control again. Together we can uncover the confidence and peace that already exist inside of you. Schedule your free consultation today!

How Psychotherapy Can Help
Trust me, I've wondered how psychotherapy can help for myself. I am stubborn in thinking that I can do it all on my own. I can just read all the books and listen to all the podcasts I need to and I'll figure it out, right? It took me a while to get a therapist for myself because I am one and I know a lot about therapy and coping strategies!
What I've found helpful is having someone outside of my own mind who can offer feedback from an unbiased place. It is so hard to make changes in your mind when you're always in your mind! I also believe we can learn from everyone we meet. Meeting with my own therapist, I've been able to gain perspective and recognize my personal strengths and weaknesses. As my own worst critic, I've also been able view myself much more fairly and develop self-compassion as I've been able to understand myself a little more through someone else's eyes. It is also a confidential and dedicated space just for YOU to be seen, heard, and understood.
Therapy is not meant to last forever. I meet with my own therapist less frequently than I used to. It is meant to be there until you feel confident and able to manage life without the extra support. When you're done with therapy, it is a place you can come back to when you need it in the future. Reach out today to get the extra support you are seeking! (You're already here, aren't you? :) )
Had a Negative Therapy Experience?
Tell me about it! The stories I've heard blow my mind. It is true that there are many different therapists out there, and I want you to have someone who is the right fit for you! I typically ask new clients what they've liked and disliked about past therapytherapists because I don't want to work with you if I'm not the right fit. Let's chat about it and see how we can make this a much better therapy experience!
