Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Feeling stuck in your relationship or marriage? Feeling lost or frozen because of trauma you've experienced? No matter where you may find yourself, I am so grateful that you are here!
I have training and experience in evidence-based treatments focused on depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, and relational issues. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to individualize therapy according to your unique needs and goals. My hope is to provide space for you to be able to process struggles you may be facing as you move toward your values!
I believe it is vital to build a safe and connected relationship in therapy, a place where you feel supported and understood. I count it an honor to be able to sit and walk alongside people in their journeys toward ever-increasing freedom, growth, and development. Please feel free to reach out and set up a free 15-minute consultation!
