Life is hard enough without our own brains getting in the way. External circumstances-whether social, familial, school or work related-can challenge us beyond the point where we feel like we can cope, leading to anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. In such cases, we can sometimes become our own worst enemies, imposing counter-productive and negative judgments on ourselves. As a cognitive behavioral therapist, my role is to provide a safe, judgment-free environment in which we can address the issues together, discover solutions, and cultivate clarity and personal growth.

During times of transition it is hard to keep moving or even hold your ground. There are times you might feel alone or lost. Worries may come and keep you up at night or lead you to places you never thought you could go. If you are facing these moments of uncertainty and hopelessness, know that there is hope. Throughout counseling I cannot promise less heartache, pain, and loss. I can promise to sit with you throughout your journey and together find ways to provide hope for the future.
