Emotional suffering does not need to be our regular experience. We can and deserve to feel content, happy, even joyful. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with over 15 years of experience who is passionate about collaborating with individuals to create meaningful, satisfying lives. I provide tangible tools for the concerns and issues that my clients face, while establishing a warm connection that supports and encourages people. Though therapy can be challenging at times, my goal is to help people experience a sense of relief and well-being that then carries into their everyday living.
I work with adults on a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, perfectionism, social anxiety, anger management, etc. I use a variety of styles including cognitive-behavioral therapy, emotionally focused therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy. I also work as a certified hypnotist to address certain issues.
I am here to walk with you through the challenges life presents us. Your feelings and needs matter to me, and I'm here to listen to them and support you. I invite you to reach out to me for a free consultation. We can talk about goals, what challenges you may be experiences, and what you're looking for from therapy.

I often use cognitive therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT in which we look at how thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions affect emotions. I am a certified hypnotist who uses hypnotherapy in many cases to address unhelpful subconscious beliefs and behaviors.
