My education and experience has given me the ability to provide counseling in multiple areas such as depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, family issues, teen/adolescent issues, child issues, ASD, ADHD, and others.
Making the decision and moving forward with seeking therapy is a huge step and usually, it’s the biggest challenge in therapy. From the moment you step through my door, you’ve already got someone in your corner. I take pride in offering a supportive, calm, accepting, and safe environment for my clients. Today’s environment makes it more difficult for us to find ways to create healthy coping skills. We will work together to identify thought patterns and behaviors, process your emotions, and explore your values and beliefs. We’ll build those healthy coping skills together. It may not always be easy, but it will certainly be worth it.

In the past, you tackled life easily, enjoyed good friends, and felt good overall about your place in the world. But then something changed, either abruptly or gradually. Now your confidence is off, you doubt yourself, and feel disconnected to almost everyone. You want to feel like you again. You want a peaceful mind, relaxed around people, connected and present in your life.

Hello and congratulations on choosing clinical hypnotherapy to empower yourself for taking the next step towards achieving your goals. Before any change can truly begin and YOUR desired outcome be established I (we) will do everything possible to understand 1. where you are 2. how you arrived there/what has happened/what is happening etc.) and 3. where you want to be. Some clinical hypnotherapy sessions will be very short and others will take longer. Each person and each concern is different, however; all therapy including clinical hypnotherapy requires work and there is no such thing as an “easy-fix” if YOU want a lasting change.

Do you often feel overwhelmed by anxiety and unsure how to move forward? Are you exhausted from trying to “have it all together”? Maybe you're used to being able to figure things out, but this time seems different. Are you wondering if this is your new normal? The things that used to come easily to you may now feel almost impossible. You’ve tried to get a handle on this—maybe even by going to therapy before, but nothing is changing. My mission is to help individuals who struggle with perfectionism, self-criticism, anxiety, and chronic self-doubt, especially those who feel stuck and like they've tried it all.
