You're deserving of whatever it is that you intend to do and be. Life can sometimes have us questioning the truth behind my previous statement. Trying to make sense of your thoughts, feelings, and the world around you can be incredibly overwhelming. Through therapy, I strive to accompany people throughout their journey of personal growth and development. I prioritize a strength-based, client-centered approach to treatment; utilizing psychoeducation and techniques derived from CBT and DBT. In other words, therapy is about YOU, we work together to learn what works best for you.

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

Often times, I’ve noticed that people seeking therapy already intuitively know what they want, or even what their potential solutions may be – before stepping foot inside my office. What they may lack is the support towards making those desires a reality. That’s why my therapeutic approach is collaborative and centered around strengthening your voice and choice in your life. I won’t stand in front of you to pull you in this direction, or behind you, to push you in another; but rather you can find me walking beside you serving as your rock and partner in healing.

Coming to therapy can be scary! I understand how hard it can be to share your feelings with a new person, especially if you aren't even sure how you feel in the first place. Therapy is a time when every part of you is welcome. Maybe you're tired of feeling like you're always fighting or doubting yourself. Maybe you've "graduated" from CBT/DBT/talk therapy, and are now ready to understand yourself in a deeper way. Maybe you've noticed how things from the past affect your body- the sound of footsteps makes your stomach drop, that one scent makes you feel like a kid again but not in a good way. Maybe you're ready for change.
