Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected? Would you like to gain more confidence, manage stress, and feel more balanced? It may be a good time for therapy. It is not uncommon to have physical, emotional, and mental health struggles exacerbated by day-to day-stressors. We all can become overwhelmed and struggle with difficult emotions. Whether you are looking for therapy to address a specific situation, event, trauma, emotion or symptom, there is hope. Let me help.
The psychotherapeutic tools I use in my practice are supportive, collaborative, trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and CBT focused. You are the guide and tools used from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic models will depend on what you need at the time of our session.
With support you can absolutely make positive change. I have availability in-person or via telehealth. Please reach out to discuss your specific needs and see if I would be a good fit. If I am not a fit, I can help you find more appropriate treatment options. Give me a call.
