I work with individuals ages 22-38 who are struggling with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, and relationship issues. I help clients disentangle their thoughts, learn to cope with their stressors, improve their self-esteem, and make life transitions. Our work will teach you new coping skills, change your ways of thinking and relating to others, and resolve any past traumatic experiences that might be leaving you feeling stagnant, overwhelmed, or less connected to yourself or others. I also work with those seeking sex therapy and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
My work combines therapeutic modalities including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). I have experience and training working with anxiety, depression, panic, and trauma, as well as, identity, relationship, and attachment issues.
Starting your therapeutic journey can feel vulnerable and difficult! My goal is to create a space for your vulnerability and to work collaboratively with you in making the most of our time together and in helping you achieve your goals. I’d love to connect and discuss what you’re looking for! Send an email to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
