Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma related to a difficult relationship or family conflict? Oftentimes, life changes whether initiated by you or unexpected can create feelings that are overwhelming. There are times in all of our lives when we are not able to find the right path to go down. We will work together to create a plan to address this in a way that helps you get your life back on track. Using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can provide the lifting of symptoms that may be keeping you stuck. In a short time, you may see improvements that will help you with the quality of life you deserve.
With a background in education and counseling, I help adolescents and adults with coping strategies so that you can feel less stress, anxiety, or depression. Individuals who work with me find that we work together using short term brief therapy approaches as well as CBT strategies to relieve symptoms so you can move forward and have the life you deserve.
I hope that when we have our complimentary call, you will know that I will be the person you have been looking for. I hear from many clients who have had therapy before that they just were not a good fit with a previous therapist. Let's see if my caring and open style will be what you need to give you the tools and support you need to feel better.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, i'll help you to learn how to change your feelings for the better.
