Are you feeling anxious? Depressed? Coping with traumatic memories or experiences? You’re not alone. Nearly half of all Americans will experience a mental health disorder in their lifetimes, and recent studies have shown an overall increase in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. Despite this high prevalence, fewer than 50% of people who experienced mental health symptoms in the past year received professional treatment. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can start your journey to recovery, and I want to help.
I have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy techniques, and interpersonal communication. But it isn’t my training that makes my approach unique. Success in therapy relies on the strength of human connection. I want to get to know you so that I can help you learn to better know yourself.
I understand that you are more than a diagnosis. Our unique circumstances and our experiences as children, partners, parents, friends, and employees play an integral role in who we are and how we cope. I want to help you figure out what lifts you up — and what’s weighing you down. Start your recovery journey today. Contact me for a free phone consultation.
