My counseling style is compassionate and direct. I use CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness therapies to help resolve negative thoughts and emotions and work towards more realistic and positive self-assessment. It takes a great deal of courage to ask for help and I honor you for taking the first step! Many of us struggle silently with emotional pain, physical discomfort and racing thoughts related to anxiety, or lack of motivation due to depression. I believe everyone has the potential to learn new skills to manage symptoms, improve communication, self-motivate, and regain a sense of self-control.

When anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles start affecting your daily life, it can feel impossible to know where to start. Therapy can help you understand what's driving those patterns and build the skills to move forward.
