Hi there! I am a therapist who is adept at cultivating a warm and secure environment for my clients, allowing them space to safely explore and process difficult thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. Through genuine rapport, a sensitivity to the unique needs of each client, and deep clinical expertise, I assists my clients to develop healthy and productive coping skills, communicate effectively with others, and establish a positive and gratifying self-concept. I have specialized training in trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.
Further, I have successfully treated families and individuals of all ages, including postpartum women and dual diagnosis individuals; I have facilitated treatment groups for grief and loss, substance abuse recovery, and veterans.
Living under the weight of unaddressed anxiety, stress, or depression uses significant mental and physical energy. Having a trusted expert on your side helps alleviate the burden, and enables you to experience deeper fulfillment. Reach out to me today to see how I can help!
