Are you feeling stressed out, depressed or anxious? If you answered yes, you aren't alone. Studies have found there has been an increase in anxiety and depression since the pandemic. I have created a safe and empathetic environment where you can learn let go of unhealthy relationship patterns and learn new coping mechanisms. Research has found the longer trauma, depression and anxiety go untreated the worse it will get. You can learn how to create balance in your life and have healthy relationships. You can also learn healthy self-care and self-compassion.
I have a warm and empathic approach to therapy that is centered around your needs. I use evidence based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This can help decrease the negative thoughts that won't go away. Research has found when used consistently it is better than medication. I also use mindfulness to help decrease stress and anxiety.
I have been there. I have experienced depression, trauma, grief and breast cancer. I know from personal experience how this effects your mind and body. I can bring my personal experiences into therapy to help you get through this difficult time in your life. I have a safe and non-judgmental environment. Now is the time to make that call, I am listening.

I start with a discovery session. This helps me get to know you and you get to know me. Then, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This is one of my favorites, it helps you see how your thoughts directly affect how you feel and experience life. I also use mindfulness to help decrease stress and anxiety. This will help relax your mind and create a safe space.
