Overwhelm, unhealthy relationships, circumstantial roadblocks, mental health challenges, and situational discomfort impact all of us as humans. It can be scary and numbing to think about challenging core beliefs and unhelpful habits. Together we will take a deep look into resources from within to find strengths and power to make life's challenges manageable. There are evidence-based ways to make positive change. I’ll listen to your struggles and find meaning from life experiences and transform them into tools for success and happiness. Loneliness is debilitating when you feel as though no one will understand or there are no possibilities for change. Let me help you with this. I have worked with domestic violence survivors, families struggling with neurodivergent loved ones, severe mood dysregulation, addiction, and adults on the autism spectrum. I am nonbiased, nonjudgmental, and hold open space for anything you're holding onto.

I believe that we all have inner strengths that can be utilized to help ourselves and each other. I value compassion, honesty, kindness, and grit. When I was growing up, my world put me in places and situations that no one should ever have to navigate alone. While I learned a lot of helpful ways to be resilient, I also learned a lot of ways to numb and give up. Through my own therapeutic journey(and six years of college I couldn't afford), I was introduced to skills and strengths that got me unstuck. I had to sift through my experiences and identify which ones were helpful and those that held me back from living a meaningful and purposeful life. The main lesson: we can't do this alone. Humans belong together. Healthy relationships (with people, beliefs, habits, and yourself) are important. It's essential to know what they look like and how to navigate and end harmful ones. Change is hard. We have to remember that it's possible and can make a world of difference in our lives.
