How Can Therapy Help?

​

Asking for help in times of need can feel like a very challenging task. Trusting another person with your internal thoughts/feelings requires courage. This is especially true when dealing with mental/emotional difficulties that are causing distress. If you are feeling unfulfilled in life, struggling with a mental illness/addiction, if you have marital/couples relationship struggles, or have experienced a trauma that is causing overwhelming stress, therapy can offer invaluable benefits to you. Often, an initial way to cope may be to deny or suppress the issue in the hopes that it will go away on its own. However, when the same setbacks and issues show-up continuously, it may be time to seek professional help to get unstuck and seek greater insight into whatever is troubling you.

My Approach 

​

I aim to build interactive and collaborative relationships with my clients in a therapeutic setting. I believe you already have the internal ability to heal, problem-solve and navigate your way through whatever challenges are confronting you. My role as your therapist is to walk with you and help you gain more insight into your challenges and see them as opportunities to learn and grow. A therapeutic relationship can facilitate healing by creating a safe and comfortable environment that invites you to explore your inner life.

​

I believe the most effective way to heal from the past and reduce fear of the future is to learn how to live more fully in the present. I view my clients with a holistic lens to see the interconnectedness of their physical, psychological, emotional and Spiritual aspects and how they are influencing each other. I utilize both Eastern and Western approaches to health by using a combination of mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and Traditional Chinese Medicine group practice. These practices have the potential to increase energy, gain self-awareness, change limiting beliefs, and optimize problem-solving skills.

You Are Worth It

​

The fact that you are seeking help is evidence enough that you have something more you want from life, however when time and energy are depleted by life's demands, self-care often takes a back seat to the hassles of everyday life. I invite you to take the opportunity to put yourself first and seek the fulfilling life you deserve.
