We all face challenges in our lives that we may have difficulty navigating through. It may be feeling depressed or anxious, experiencing relational/family conflict and grief, or adjusting to life transitions. Sometimes we need another person to help us along the way outside of our loved ones. That's where I come in. I strive to help you work through adversities, build upon your strengths, and empower you to create new, meaningful, and fulfilling chapters in your life. I specialize in working with individuals ages 18-30+ and couples.
My approach is to create a warm and non judgmental environment, and to build therapeutic connection. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness skills in treatment while tailoring the process to your needs. I believe with the right tools you will begin to feel a sense of relief, safety, support, and guidance.
I have weekday evenings and weekend availability. I also provide telehealth sessions to make it easy and convenient for you. By deciding to engage in therapy, you have taken a gigantic step towards improving your mental health and wellness. Your healing starts now!
