We will identify thought patterns that no longer work for you, explore brand new perspectives and practice positive coping skills. Through my gentle and compassionate guidance, you will equip yourself with successful coping skills that will help you throughout your entire life journey.

I have experience working with many adults, young adults, and children struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, and life transitions. By allowing me to help you trust the process of therapy we can work on what your needs may be. When we listen wholeheartedly without judgment, we can become aware and attempt to understand what someone may be feeling. The value of helping others can also give someone hope that there is something to look forward to. That's what drives me toward empathy and compassion.
