As far as others can tell, you’re rocking this thing called life. But, on the inside, you’re struggling with feelings like inadequacy, shame, and overwhelm because despite how hard you work to keep it together, keeping it together is feeling more and more out of your reach. You’re feeling stuck, and it’s taking a toll on other areas of your life, like your relationships, your work, or your health. You’re less connected to your friends and loved ones, you’re always tired, it’s hard to concentrate or focus, and you find yourself feeling anxious or down. You’re tired of keeping this to yourself, and it’s time for a change.
You want to take back control of the life you worked so hard to create. You want to stop holding yourself back by worrying and doubting yourself. You’re ready to hop off the hamster wheel you’ve been spinning on so you can feel present with your loved ones, confident in yourself, and hopeful again. I can help you get there.
I understand how you feel. I’ve been there. I've also helped others feel better and make lasting changes through my anxiety, depression, & sobriety counseling services. Take the first step toward your healing and visit my website today to schedule a free consultation. I'd love to connect with you!

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the best ways to help you make progress. I often use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, which incorporates mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies. We'll look at the factors keeping you stuck, explore your values, and discover ways for you to engage with life in a manner that aligns with your true self.
