My therapy style usually works within a person-centered, relational and cognitive-behavioral framework. I am going to ask about you, your goals, your family/relationships, your history, and other important life experiences and events so that we can begin to identify and understand thinking, feeling, and behavioral patterns that may or may not be working for you. Together, we can work to decrease your symptoms, such as anxiety and depression through building a therapeutic relationship, and increasing self-awareness and coping skills, which can help improve your self-esteem, personal relationships, and overall satisfaction with life!

I work with aduIts and couples. I specialize in helping you to improve your relationships if you have struggled with this throughout your live. Today, you may have challenging relationships with family members. Perhaps you avoid conflict because you get anxious and don’t know what to say when someone is angry with you. Emotionally, you may shut down, go numb or explode. You may fear that your partner will leave you or that you don’t need anyone. Maybe you don’t know who you are, or who you are meant to be, or you often have critical thoughts about yourself. Perhaps you suffer from ongoing anxiety or depression without a known cause.

I'm a telehealth therapist who's passionate about providing individualized treatment to fit my clients' specific goals. I have a compassionate, non-preachy approach but don't believe in letting my clients coast by without doing any self-work as I sit back, silently nodding. I am certified in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which I offer via telehealth. I believe that central to our struggles are our unmet needs, some past, some current, which have led us to compulsive/addictive behaviors and unhealthy attachments.
