Managing life and all the emotions that come with it can be hard. Many people want to make sense of their life. Why do I react the way I do? Starting therapy is a great way to start unpacking answers to those life questions. I will provide you the safe and non-judgmental environment to begin to explore your thoughts, memories, and long-term goals. I can meet you where you are at in your life and together, we will begin your journey towards healing. I will be your biggest advocate in reaching your future goals. Together we will process your past and current life stressors to enable you to live your life in the present.
I will teach you coping skills to get through stressful times in your life and techniques to maintain a positive mindset. I am experienced working with depression, anxiety, people in crisis, adults who experienced childhood trauma, and substance misuse.
I am trained in Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Informed, Gottman Method (level 2) Couples Therapy, and chemical dependency counseling.
