At A Better Me Mental Health, we welcome adolescents, adults, and older adults ages 15–80 who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, grief, stress, relationship or family challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what comes next. We believe mental health care should feel compassionate, supportive, and personal. Our approach is centered on empathy, understanding, and individualized care, taking the time to listen to your concerns and understand your unique needs and goals.
We offer medication management, individual psychotherapy, and family therapy, creating personalized treatment plans that may include medication, therapy, or a combination of both. We work collaboratively with each client to manage symptoms, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and improve overall emotional well-being.
You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. At A Better Me Mental Health, you’ll find a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Wherever you are in your journey, we’ll meet you there and work together toward meaningful change. When you’re ready, take the first step toward a better you.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we'll identify your concerns, goals, and the best path forward. When appropriate, I combine therapy with medication management to reduce symptoms, build healthy coping skills, and support the best possible outcomes.
