WHEN LIFE FEELS TOO HEAVY TO CARRY:
When anxiety, depression, anger, past trauma, or current conflicts start to feel like too much to carry—or even if you’re just beginning to notice that something feels off—you’re taking the right step in finding a therapist. People reach out for therapy at all different moments, not only when life feels the heaviest. You might be tired from holding everything together, unsure how to start untangling what you’re feeling, or simply wishing someone would finally listen without judgment.
A CALM SUPPORTIVE SPACE:
I offer a steady, caring space where you can slow down, breathe, and sort through what’s going on inside you and in your relationships. My goal is to listen, help you understand your thoughts and emotions, work through painful or traumatic experiences, and take steps forward at a pace that feels safe—not rushed or pressured.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS:
I'll help you to see how your thoughts, emotions, and actions connect. When you notice how certain thoughts trigger strong feelings or reactions, it becomes easier to break the patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. This kind of awareness helps you understand your story in a new way and feel more in control of your life.
HOW WE’LL WORK TOGETHER:
My work is based on a person-centered approach, which means our relationship is one of the most important parts of the process. I want you to feel safe, respected, and truly listened to. You know your life better than anyone, and we work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you notice how your thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. When you learn to spot unhelpful thoughts, you can start changing them and feel less anxiety, sadness, or overwhelm.
I use Trauma-Focused CBT when past painful or traumatic experiences still affect how you feel or react today. We'll take things slowly and build skills that help you feel safer, calmer, and more in control as you work through what you’ve been carrying.
I also use Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which helps you notice your strengths, set clear goals, and take small steps forward. This approach keeps things hopeful and focused on what’s possible right now.
All of these approaches work together to help you heal, understand yourself better, and grow—while honoring your voice, your pace, and your experiences.
If this is the moment you’re reaching out for support, I'm here to walk with you.
