Burnout is far too common in our daily lives for it to not be talked about and focused on. Life can become overwhelming and the joy you once felt for the little things you loved doing can become grey and feel as though it is a requirement and not something you GET to do. Being able to confront those feelings and finding a way around it or finding something new should be focused on more than destroying your pleasure principles more.

I have taken classes on all forms of grief/loss and have a strong background on how to handle the many forms of loss and what grief can look like on an individual. Loss is not just about losing another person's life, but can be broadened into the loss of a pet, a job, or even losing the ability to walk/live your life on your own because of declining health. Even in my personal life, I have a lot of experience with the loss of loved ones and not knowing how to handle these new emotions.

I understand that codependency can sometimes feel like losing yourself while trying to take care of the people you love. You may find yourself constantly prioritizing someone else’s needs, struggling to set boundaries, feeling responsible for another person’s emotions, or questioning your own needs and worth. In therapy, I want to help you recognize these patterns without judgment and create space for your own needs, emotions, and identity.

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. My person centered approach focuses on building a trusting relationship where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, experiences, and goals. Rather than telling you what you should do, I work alongside you to help you recognize your strengths, understand your needs, and create meaningful change that feels authentic to you.

I use motivational interviewing to help you explore what you truly want and what may be holding you back from making changes. Rather than telling you what you should do, I work alongside you to understand your values, strengths, and goals. My approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental, helping you build confidence, work through uncertainty, and find your own motivation for meaningful, lasting change.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we can identify patterns that may be contributing to stress or emotional challenges and work toward developing healthier ways of thinking and coping. My goal is to provide practical tools that help you feel more confident, manage difficult emotions, and make meaningful changes in your everyday life.
