Have you ever looked at your reflection and wondered who you are? Do you ever feel lost or wonder where you are headed? CONFESSION -- I have. I realized later in life that my calling was to become a therapist. I received on-the-job training long before I went to college through my own experiences as a mother, wife, friend, and personally, as an individual with depression and anxiety. These experiences prepared me for my role as a therapist. My own struggles have enabled me to better connect with my clients, including the loss of my 34-year-old son in 2023. Just like my clients, I sought out a therapist to talk to, someone who would truly listen and understand my journey. Finding a therapist can indeed be a challenge, especially when it involves opening up to a complete stranger about some of the hardest times in your life. From personal experience, I know the gains that can be made in therapy and the profound road to self-discovery.
As a therapist, I have experience working with a wide variety of populations and specialize in helping adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and substance use. My approach to working with clients is person-centered, combined with cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. I encourage clients to explore their core beliefs, as individuals often do not recognize how their thinking patterns impact numerous areas of their lives. I assist clients in conceptualizing the life they want and considering the necessary action steps to make that life a reality. While self-discovery through therapy can take time and effort, if it leads to discovering the best version of yourself, isn’t it worth it?
One thing I can ensure is that I will provide a safe space for you to discover your beliefs. These beliefs may be about yourself and the world around you. I create a therapeutic environment for my clients that is both safe and supportive. I am passionate about helping individuals explore who they are and what they want. If you are ready to begin this journey, I would be honored to work with you on your path to discovering you.
