Overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating a difficult life transition, or carrying the weight of past trauma? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to work through it by yourself. I’m passionate about supporting children, teens, and adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, and life changes. No matter where you're struggling, therapy can provide a safe space to slow down, process what you’re experiencing, and begin moving forward. My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel understood, and empowered. Together, we can explore barriers and develop practical tools to manage anxiety and build the life you want.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) allows for clients to find the control they are struggling to hold onto. I use CBT because I have seen first hand the empowerment that comes with it. ACT or acceptance and commitment therapy offers similar empowerment with focus on values and emotions as you grow.
I believe each person already holds strengths and insight within them. My role is to walk alongside you as you rediscover those strengths and move toward the life you want to build. If you’re ready- let’s get you scheduled. I am excited to meet you.
