Welcome! I am passionate about supporting individuals who may be experiencing low self-esteem, chronic sadness, excessive anxiety, persistent crises, intense or unstable relationships, fear of abandonment, negative self-image, recurrent suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, mood swings, or anger management issues. Please know that you are not alone, and that your experiences are validated. My goal is to provide both genuine empathy and practical strategies to help you navigate these challenges effectively. I am here to offer support and teach evidence-based skills to improve your well-being and quality of life.
With over 14 years of experience in providing a comprehensive range of clinical services, I have developed a well-rounded expertise in addressing various mental health issues. My practice is grounded in evidence-based therapies, with a particular focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Humanistic approaches.
If you are ready to embark on a journey toward deeper understanding and personal growth, I encourage you to reach out today to schedule a complimentary 15-minute consultation. Please note that I am solely a telehealth provider and that all sessions are completed remotely. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you.
