therapist/Clinical Social Worker
who I work with:
I help analytical, logical thinkers and perfectionists who are feeling overwhelmed and lost to find meaning and fulfillment again. These ways of being work for you, but something recently happened that hit you pretty hard. It could be job-related stress or a relationship break-up, moving, increased anxiety or depression, or loss of a loved one. Regardless of what happened, you’re feeling overwhelmed and maybe a little lost.
Your guilt and stress over trying to do everything the way it “should” be done is resulting in feeling down, worried, or hopeless. And some days, you’re not quite sure how you’ll make it through the day. You start to wonder, should I talk to someone who understands what I’m going through?
how therapy can help you:
From my own life experiences, I relate to the struggle of feeling lost and with no one to turn to for support. I will help you navigate through your “messy” emotions and uncover the true you that lies beneath. Together we will identify any unhelpful perfectionistic beliefs and negative thinking patterns that have impacted your sense of self and happiness. I will help you develop tools to set healthy boundaries with yourself and others so that you can move away from the anxiety, guilt, grief and moodiness that is dictating your daily life. If you’re feeling the weight of your emotional pain is too heavy to bear, I can help. You can live your life with joy again.
about me:
I have over 15 years’ experience working in the counseling field, and sometimes, experience matters. One of my greatest strengths that I bring to our counseling relationship is the ability to listen and understand your unique way of being in the world. I have extensive experience working with people from multiple cultural backgrounds and facing a wide variety of challenging situations, including grief and loss, perfectionism, anxiety and depression, trauma, cultural adjustment, and relationship stresses. I am a working mother of a young child and have navigated marrying across cultures and living in different countries. I bring these experiences to support you in your healing.
I am licensed in both Colorado and Texas and can support you if you live in either of these states.
