My clients generally fall into two categories. Many clients are functioning just fine in many aspects of their lives but have some trauma/stress, relationship/employment, self esteem issues, substance use or mood/anxiety disorders that just keep them feeling stuck in an unhealthy pattern. There are also those whose lives are crashing down, with little hope that things can get better. There are no issues too big or too small that aren't worth exploring if they are causing distress. Clients come with baggage in search of a lighter load. That is what we work on together.

I utilize a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach integrating evidence-based interventions and the latest research in neuroscience and psychology to better support my clients and their goals.
To others, you feel like an imposter in your career or relationships. You feel like you are flailing through life and constantly questioning yourself. Everyone seems to have it all together while you are barely making it through the day. Emotions take over a lot these days, and you have a hard time letting things go. You are not alone. I work with teens and adults struggling with stress, depression, burnout, anxiety, and moodiness. These issues often go hand in hand with self-doubt, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome. I want to help you become more confident and develop a secure relationship with yourself and others.
