Your Mental Health Matters, my goal is to be your guide, confidante and empathetic listening ear while you figure out what you want, what you need and how to get your life in a position where you feel fulfilled and balanced.

California and Utah residents: If you’ve stumbled across this ad, you must be in need of some support. I am passionate about helping people work through life experiences that increase depression, anxiety, addiction, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. My focus is to decrease the symptoms that are impacting the quality of your life and improve your relationship with yourself and others. During my life, I have lived through many experiences that caused severe emotional distress. I tried, unsuccessfully, to manage the impact mental health symptoms had over my life that felt out of control. Something needed to change.

It can be a lonely and overwhelming feeling to realize that your life doesn't match who you were meant to be.

I have over 18 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families dealing with dual diagnoses, trauma and PTSD, substance abuse, personality disorders, mood disorders and thought disorders.

Is anxiety preventing you from pursuing the things that matter? Do you struggle with mixed emotions about your upbringing? As your therapist, I will listen and hold the space where you can be your authentic self. Together we will untangle and demystify all the feelings, emotions, and trauma you are experienced/ing. We will identify your strengths, resilience, passion, and goals to make positive meaningful change. We will figure it out together.

I practice psychotherapy as a collaborative process between two entities to achieve wellness in life. While tracing the impact of the past experiences and relationships, my client and I work to identify how they get in their own way, and to remove the hurdles that keep them from achieving their goals in life. The broader aim is to foster my client’s ability to better relate with self and others, feel authentically known and accepted, and balance the demands of life with greater freedom.
