I came from a childhood with a lot of uncertainty and fear. I initially wanted to learn how to make kids who grew up like me feel better and overcome with resilience. What keeps me going is knowing that resilience only comes with adversity. I'm hoping with our work together you won't have to be as resilient because you won't have to go through hard things just to know you are good enough. I really think healing ourselves collectively is all that will change things, and I think we are ready for change. It starts with the only people we can control - ourselves. 

It's hard to describe how much better you can function after coming to therapy. Most people come to me because they are really at a crisis point in their life. They can't keep going the way they are and they aren't sure what needs to change, they just know that they need a change. I can help you make changes pretty quickly, but the harder part is looking really deeply into yourself, the things that brought you to this point, and healing what has probably always been just under the surface. Over time, we can uncover that together. We can build your coping skills so you can handle looking at what scares you. You can be free. 

I'm a fierce advocate for those who have been told by our society that they aren't deserving of the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. I want to help you to find your way in a world that does not love you back or see you as worthy. You matter to me.
