Psychotherapist
MI
Have you ever felt so overwhelmed or burdened that you didn't know where to turn? I help people navigate those heavy moments - whether it's worry over things out of your control, feeling unseen, or simply not knowing where to start. Together, we'll create a safe space for you to be heard, supported, and empowered to move forward. My approach My approach is simple - I meet you where you're at. I'm not here to sit above you with all the answers; I'm a real person who's had my share of ups and downs, and I understand how messy life can get. Together, we'll have honest conversations, explore what's weighing on you, and work toward finding a path that feels right for you. My focus I work with individuals and couples who are facing a wide range of challenges - whether it's stress, relationship struggles, anxiety, negative thoughts, or simply feeling unseen or overwhelmed. My approach is to meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and walk alongside you as we talk things through. I draw on both my professional training and my own lived experience with life's ups and downs, helping you build coping skills, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and create a safe, supportive space for clarity, connection, and meaningful change. My communication style My communication style is real and conversational - I'm not here to use a bunch of jargon or make you feel like you're under the microscope. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself, even on the hard days. In our sessions, the tone is relaxed, honest, and supportive, so we can talk about the tough stuff, work through negative thoughts, and build coping skills together without any judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I became a social worker because of my own life experiences and the challenges I've faced along the way. I know what it's like to struggle, feel stuck, and wonder if things can get better.
