Do you feel like you don’t know who are? Do you feel misunderstood? Have you struggled with confidence, fear, and hopelessness? Having these thoughts and emotions can be incredibly painful. Many feel ashamed for having them and try to manage their mental health on their own. This tends to perpetuate greater feelings of isolation and relational pain.
I offer an integrative approach to therapy. This means I pull from a variety of theories and interventions to suit the needs of each client. My primary method is a blend of relational and person-centered therapy. Nevertheless, because everyone’s story is unique, I aim to use modalities that would benefit clients most.
Feeling overwhelmed with shame, struggling with identity issues, experiencing relationship and marital troubles, or wrestling with addiction have a way of making us feel trapped. We all, from time to time, battle these challenges. However, we don’t have to suffer alone. There is hope. If you’re ready to receive help, feel free to contact me.
