As good as life can be, it can also be hard, and we were not meant to "go it alone." If you are looking here, you are courageously acknowledging something in your life can be improved, and my goal is to help you make this change so that you can live more freely and fully. I work with clients 16+ years old on their overwhelming emotions, processing past experiences, building coping skills and resilience, improving communication, and related issues that may be holding them back in some way.

I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for a variety of mental health conditions. CBT is a goal focused therapy that involves techniques like learning coping strategies, tracking thinking patterns, and changing daily routines. You might be a good fit for this type of treatment if you have a particular set of symptoms you'd like to reduce (e.g., depression, anxiety, insomnia) or if you have a specific life stressor you'd like to address (e.g., experience of physical or sexual violence, combat, exposure to trauma in the workplace). I provide therapy exclusively via telehealth because I want to make treatment easier to access.

I am a firm believer that our mental and emotional health are just as important as our physical health and wellness. More often than not, we put ourselves on the back burner, taking care of others needs and then ignoring our own. In the world we live in, it’s also easy to push our emotions to the side and tell ourselves we "shouldn't" feel this way. Living well doesn't have to mean sacrificing your needs for others, it might just mean, we chose to intentionally put our energy into things that fill us up and allow us to feel more centered.

I believe that everyone has a purpose. A greatness that is held within them, designed to change the world for the better. In life, we face challenges that sometimes cause us to become forgetful of our power, whether it is within the confines of a romantic relationship or the one of the pinnacles of personal growth.

Life can become challenging, with or without a mental disorder. Regardless of the severity of your struggle, having professional support can be essential. I believe that the best way to get through the difficulties of life require selfempowerment. You may need an objective person with whom to process the curveballs life has thrown at you. You may need guidance and life skills (relaxation, coping, etc) to better handle overwhelming challenges. You may need directed professional care to help with symptoms associated with mental disorders. My job is to help get you back on the path to the life you want.

We can all feel lost and overwhelmed by our emotions, creating a disconnect from ourselves and others. Our anxiety can take over and we can start turning to self-sabotaging behaviors. It can feel as if it has taken over our lives and all that we are really craving is a connection, support, and tools that can help us show up differently creating more peace with ourselves and others.

“A bird sitting in a branch is not afraid of the branch breaking - for its trust is not in the tree - but in the strength of its own wings.” It is human to stumble and sometimes we need a gentle reminder of our strengths. We are all human. We have all had moments confronting a loss, having our heart broken, or feeling like we don't belong. You are not alone, and you can get through this. As your therapist, I support and guide you as a gentle presence to remind you of the strength in your wings to grow.
