Discovering Life...Discovering You
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 helped prepare 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 looked for a therapist to talk to, one who would listen and understand where I was coming from. Finding a therapist can be a challenge. The challenge involves talking to a complete stranger about your life while discussing some of the hardest times of your life. From personal experience, I know the gains that can be made in therapy and the road to self-discovery.
How I Can Help
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, ADHD, and substance use. My approach in working with clients tends to be person-centered along with cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy. Core beliefs are areas of focus I encourage clients to explore. Oftentimes, individuals may not recognize how their thinking patterns have affected numerous areas in their life. I help clients to conceptualize the life that they want and consider the action steps to make that life happen. Yes, self-discovery through therapy can take time and effort, but if the payoff is discovering the best version of yourself, then is it not worth it?
Client Promise
One thing I can ensure is that I will provide a safe space to discover your beliefs. Beliefs that you may have about yourself and the world around you. I provide a therapeutic space for my clients that is 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.
