Tired of feeling anxious, on edge, overwhelmed and worrying all the time? Wish you could talk to someone that actually knows what you're going through? Life is hard enough, but when you're overwhelmed, it can feel unbearable. It can seem like each day is a race of to-do lists. And if you're like most people, prioritizing your mental health probably hasn't been at the top of the list. I help people learn to prioritize themselves and their needs one session at a time. We can discuss what has happened to you in the past, or we can focus on dealing with what is happening for you right now.

Maybe managing your mental health has always been hard, but lately it’s felt impossible. Maybe your teen is struggling to adjust to all of the changes they are facing. Or maybe you just want someone to listen and truly hear you. No matter the reason, the decision to get help is rarely a simple one. In the therapy room, we’ll center your values as the focus of treatment. I know from my experiences as both a clinician and a client that the therapeutic relationship alone can be a powerful influence in growth and self-discovery. My goal is to use validation, dialectics, the strengths you already possess, to guide you in your journey.
