My goal as your therapist, is to help you navigate through your comfort zone and become uncomfortable. Change is uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable through change is the first step in meeting your goals. Lets work together and learn how to take back control of your life and not let your symptoms manage you but you manage them.

At an early age most people are taught to be independent, strong, and self-sufficient. But, there are times in life when difficult situations can become overwhelming. During these difficult times in life some individuals do not realize that it is okay "Not to be Okay." Asking for help can be hard.

It's time to reach your full potential. I offer holistic therapy that focuses on your goals and quick solutions to address current problems as well as changing long entrenched behaviorial patterns. Therapy will assist you in gaining insight from your past, healing traumas at the root and making long term changes for the future.

You feel different than others and there’s so much going on inside. Perhaps your thoughts and emotions are just too much.

In therapy with me you'll learn the language of your nervous system to become your own best medicine & healer. Life is too short to be anyone but yourself, and if you're not experiencing your life the way you'd like to… we can change that. As an anxiety specialist, I can tell you that you don't have to feel so stuck & unfulfilled. Happy lives & relationships aren't just what happen to other people. You know that wise inner voice of yours? The one quietly telling you that things don't have to be this way? That's a voice that we'll work to amplify in our work together with high compassion, low B.S.

Therapy is an experience that I have seen from both sides, as a client and clinician. This is why my approach comes from an empathic, relative point of view. My belief is that a client knows more about what they need better than anyone else. However, we all need guidance and assistance at times to help unlock our potential. I have learned that each client has their own set of core beliefs, maladaptive coping skills, and a significant barrier to obtaining the life we deserve. As a result, we can work to change these unhealthy behaviors one may use to numb and escape feelings that are destructive and harmful together.
