I am here to support individuals and couples to be empowered to create change in their lives. As a therapist, I am devoted to creating a safe space for you to explore and identify patterns in your life that require change to live your fullest life. I am committed to helping clients overcome past pains, gain insight to understand themselves better, learn healthy and effective tools to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, and live the life they truly desire.
I specialize in working with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression, adjusting to new seasons of life, and new mom’s embracing motherhood. I also specialize in working with couples preparing for marriage and adjusting to married life.
I believe everyone can learn to identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that hold them back. I believe everyone can benefit from noticing patterns in their life and where they stem from to be empowered to create necessary change. And I am passionate about helping you do this to live the life you were created to live.
