In seasons of crisis, loss, and struggle, counseling can be a space to reflect on the past and recover for the journey ahead.

Sometimes, we get stuck in our lives and need assistance. These moments could be because of depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal conflicts, or behavioral difficulties.

I help you feel safe so we can actively work toward changing and resolving the concerns that brought you to therapy.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, life as we know it, has changed. For some, these changes have been much larger and much more traumatic than others. Depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, and suicide attempts are just a few of mental health concerns that are on the rise in our country. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, and fear in children and adults have become unfortunate byproducts of the pandemic. At times we may feel powerless or even hopeless. Engaging in therapy can give one the tools and skills needed to navigate this unprecedented time and help manage life’s stressors in a healthy, safe, and proactive manner.

In addition to using CBT and DBT, I use play techniques, and solution-focused therapy to help children. I also assist adults in overcoming their traumas so they can build a healthier tomorrow through CBT, DBT, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques.

I will work with you to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment to help heal your invisible wounds, make sense of your past, live in the present, and empower you to create a life worth living.
