If you are struggling to cope with stress and anxiety from past or ongoing difficulties (such as school/work stress, friendship/relationship problems, bullying, or family dynamics), I can help you process and problem-solve your experiences and offer a path forward. This includes learning coping skills and interpersonal effectiveness, as well as examining thought and behavior patterns. I enjoy working collaboratively with my clients to help them be the best version of themselves by helping them to identify their goals and to leverage their strengths to meet those goals.

Thank you for considering me as a part of your journey towards healing. I understand choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Often times, unresolved mental health issues lead to isolation. You are not alone. Individuals often experience unpleasant symptoms associated with distressing life events that often lead to mental health disorders. Often times, many mood disorders and trauma-related symptoms are often linked in some way to traumatic life events, generational trauma, or hereditary factors. I offer the expertise to help you connect with your inner and external strengths to foster healing, resilience, and hope.

I focus on the unique challenges of those in high-pressure careers. The intensity of these jobs often leads to relationship problems, anxiety about performance, stress, exhaustion, and burnout, resulting in a shrinking support network and frustrated partners. That’s why I also focus on the families of such individuals.
