Life can be overwhelming, isolating, and uncertain. It seems that so many things are out of our control. This can lead us to feel anxious, confused and hopeless. Nothing seems to be going right or according to plan, so it can be hard to feel hopeful. And the longer one feels stuck in this place, the harder it is to feel things can ever change.

 While all of this can be true; I strongly believe that what is also true is that we are inherently resilient. Though it may not seem like it, we all have tools and strengths that can help us look at difficult things life and face them head on. The act of seeking out therapy alone is a sign of strength and resilience.

Sometimes it is hard for us to know this about ourselves. Life, society and trauma have a way of boxing us into the way we think we ‘should’ be, think or feel so the wonderful traits, strengths and tools we inherently possess get shielded from our view. We no longer see ourselves as who we actually are, but rather who the world has told us we are. 

I believe my job is to help you find your preferable way of living and being. I use a variety of therapeutic practices to help bring those strengths that have been hidden back to life. My hope is to walk alongside you in your search for change, help to question those ‘shoulds’ and explore how your values and strengths may act as solutions for the obstacles you face. I also come from the belief that we are inherently relational beings and that the therapeutic relationship can be a place of healing.
