Thank you for visiting my profile, and consider calling me for a free 15 minute consultation. Life often feels overwhelming and this can turn into anxiety, depression, and difficulties in relationships. Therapy is your safe space to talk about how you're feeling, explore your life history, identify the challenges you currently face, and recalibrate your life. You deserve to have feelings of hopelessness turn into hopefulness, low self-esteem become confidence and self-determination, and make time to take care of yourself. Think of your life as a book to be written and you are the author. If you don't like a chapter, rewrite it.

Using cognitive behavioral therapy, I have expertise in treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and crisis intervention. In addition to sharing my digital resource library with you (workbooks, worksheets, etc), we use your sessions to practice mindfulness, coping skills, effective communication, and challenging automatic thoughts.

When you're struggling with life's challenges, you need someone to listen to you with a non-judgmental, unbiased ear. Therapy is your space to express your fears, worries, doubts, and hopes to a supportive professional counselor. You'll be heard, validated, supported and empowered, and I also encourage you to reach out to me as needed in between sessions.

The therapeutic approach I use most often is cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT. It's often referred to as "talk therapy". In CBT, we explore your thoughts and emotions and how those influence the way you interact with people and events in your world. This includes learning and practicing: healthy boundaries, effective communication, mindfulness, self-esteem, and creating a healthy lifestyle.
