You may be thinking, “I just don’t feel like myself.” but don’t know where to start to feel better. Did you imagine your life would be at a different place by now? Sometimes as great as family and friends are, they may not truly understand and an outside unbiased perspective is helpful. I know that it can be hard to reach out for help, let alone find a therapist who is right for you. I provide my clients with a warm, supportive, non-judgmental space to help empower you and give you the coping skills needed to live the life you deserve.

Using the science-based technique (CBT) cognitive behavior therapy, I will help you explore thoughts about people, places, and things in your life. We can either learn to be happier in the lives we have, or gain the strength and motivation to change it into the life we want.
Therapy is best when it is a conversation between two genuine people. I like the analogy of the therapist as a seasoned woodsman, who meets you, lost in your personal forest. As you walk and talk, the woodsman subtly uses known cues about how to get out of the woods.

The Corona Virus has wreaked havoc on our lives. While we have come a long way from the early days of the pandemic, fears of contracting the virus are still present. Some may be grieving the loss of a loved one who died from the virus. Healthcare workers, doctors and unformed service personnel witnessed the unimaginable. Prolonged quarantine put stress on families and marraiges. If you are experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks of what you experienced, you are not alone. You don't have to deal with the aftermath of Corona Virus by yourself. I am here to hear to get you back on track and life again.
