Counseling Specialties.
-
Anxiety.
Anxiety can feel overwhelming—racing thoughts, a constant knot in your stomach, trouble sleeping, or a sense that you can’t quite relax. It can hold you back from enjoying life, strain your relationships, and leave you feeling stuck in a cycle of worry and self-doubt. In our work together, we’ll explore what’s fueling your anxiety, identify patterns that keep it going, and develop personalized tools to calm your mind and body. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control, so you can face challenges with clarity and enjoy a greater sense of peace in your daily life.
-
Depression.
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel exhausting. You might feel disconnected from the things you once enjoyed, struggle to find motivation, or feel weighed down by sadness, guilt, or hopelessness. It can impact your relationships, work, and sense of self-worth. In our sessions, we’ll work together to understand your unique experience, uncover what’s contributing to these feelings, and build strategies to help you regain energy, joy, and purpose. My goal is to create a compassionate space where you feel supported as you take steps toward healing and rediscovering a life that feels meaningful to you.
-
Trauma.
Trauma can leave lasting imprints—intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or feeling “stuck” in the past. You might notice it affecting your relationships, self-esteem, or ability to feel safe and present. Healing from trauma is not about “just moving on”—it’s about gently working through what happened, at your pace, in a space where you feel safe and supported. Together, we’ll address both the emotional and physical impact of trauma, build tools for regulation and resilience, and help you reconnect with a sense of safety, empowerment, and hope for the future.
-
Relationship Issues.
Relationship challenges can leave you feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of conflict. You might be struggling with communication, trust, boundaries, or navigating major life changes together. These struggles can affect not only your relationship, but also your confidence and emotional well-being. In therapy, we’ll explore the patterns at play, improve your ability to express needs and listen openly, and develop tools to strengthen connection and understanding. Whether you’re repairing a partnership, healing after a breakup, or working on healthier relationship skills, my goal is to help you build relationships where you feel valued, supported, and secure.
-
Self-Esteem.
Low self-esteem can shape the way you see yourself and limit the life you believe you deserve. You might doubt your abilities, struggle to set boundaries, or feel like you’re never “enough.” Over time, this can affect your relationships, work, and overall happiness. In therapy, we’ll work together to uncover the roots of these beliefs, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build a more balanced, compassionate view of yourself. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths, embrace your worth, and move forward with greater confidence and self-respect.
-
Life Transitions.
Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can stir up uncertainty, stress, and mixed emotions. You might be navigating a career change, starting or ending a relationship, becoming a parent, moving to a new place, or adjusting to an empty nest. Even positive changes can feel overwhelming and disrupt your sense of stability. In therapy, we’ll explore what this transition means for you, process the emotions that come with it, and develop strategies to adapt with resilience and clarity. My goal is to help you find your footing, embrace new possibilities, and move forward feeling grounded and confident in the path ahead.
-
Grief.
Grief can touch every part of life—your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and even your sense of identity. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced the end of a relationship, or are grieving a life you thought you’d have, the pain can feel heavy and unending. You might notice waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness that make it hard to function day to day. In therapy, we’ll create space to honor your loss, process the complex emotions that come with it, and find ways to carry your memories while moving toward healing. My goal is to walk beside you through your grief, helping you navigate life after loss with compassion, understanding, and hope.
-
EMDR.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, research-backed therapy that helps the brain heal from distressing memories and experiences. If you’ve been through trauma, anxiety, grief, or other painful events, those memories can feel “stuck,” continuing to trigger emotional and physical reactions long after the moment has passed. EMDR works by helping your brain reprocess these memories in a safe, guided way—reducing their emotional charge and allowing you to respond to life in the present, not through the lens of the past. In our work together, EMDR can be tailored to your comfort level and goals, helping you move toward relief, resilience, and a renewed sense of peace.
