Different seasons of life reveal different needs, hopes, and concerns in each of us. What worked for us as children or young adults may not fit as well in a different season, yet many of us find it hard to make the internal shifts to find something that fits better. We can get stuck, internally or externally, and experience stress and discontent as a result. I love working with clients to help them "unstick" and move into their present and future with tools that are a better fit for who they are and want to be. You DO have what you need to move forward into a more joyous, contented life - with just a little support and guidance.
Some things you will see in your work with me include CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed practices, and solution-focused approaches. I am also informed by my training in Early Childhood Mental Health. I invite exploration of how race, culture, spirituality, and gender impact and inform wellness and mental health.
Coming to therapy is a vulnerable act, an acknowledgement that the strategies we've been trying aren't working in this present moment. I see my role as one of coming alongside you, helping you see your own situation or questions more clearly, and supporting you in developing (or remembering!) tools or practices that will move you forward. Please call today!

I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person-centered therapy, and other treatments to address YOUR concerns. CBT focuses on changing your thoughts in order to influence your emotions and mood for the better. Sometimes our thoughts or core beliefs stem from experiences that happened a long time ago, and if that's the case, we'll look at those things together.
