Do you feel overpowered by your emotions? Do you have a hard time communicating to others how you feel? You are not alone. I know from my years of experience working in mental health that we all have the power to make changes in our lives.

My therapeutic approach is to help individuals take a look at how their thought patterns and emotional responses impact their actions and behaviors.
Our work together will focus on the present so you can build towards an emotionally healthy future. If you are ready and willing to put in the work you will be amazed at what you can learn and accomplish.
