Our thoughts are powerful and can make the difference between feeling happy or feeling stuck and sad. Thoughts can be intrusive and overpower us causing intense feelings of anxiety, depression, and overall feeling trapped or stuck. Although it may not always feel like it, happiness is within your control. Whether it means overcoming a fear, understanding what is causing you to feel so sad, or just talking through life's daily stressors, I am here to listen to you and help you take control.
I utilize a variety of evidence-based practices to help my clients meet their needs. I utilize a strengths-based perspective and encourage my patients to utilize positive self-talk to manage their symptoms. We work closely together to assess your needs and create goals that will help you create the progress you wish to see.
Everyone needs someone to talk to and I am here to help you and listen to you. Don't hesitate to reach out, no matter your circumstances. If I feel that I am not the best therapist to help you meet your needs, I can provide you with referral resources.
