I specialize in working with adults who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, panic disorder, depression, or and/or life transitions. I provide motivation to improve their mental well-being and provide effective tools to manage their mental health long-term. My goal is for them to understand themselves better, develop coping strategies, and achieve a better quality of life. I provide a judgment-free and supportive environment where they can explore their feelings and thoughts openly. Currently I am available mornings only, as early as 6am. Email me if you are looking for appointments 1am-6am.
As a therapist, licensed for 14 years, specializing in CBT and Mindfulness, I offer personalized counseling using a strength-based, client-centered approach. I help clients identify and achieve mental health goals through evidence-based strategies, fostering resilience and navigating challenges effectively.
Taking the first step towards therapy can be daunting. I'm here to listen, support, and guide you on your mental health journey. Together, we'll explore concerns, develop coping strategies, and empower positive change. You're not alone; reach out today to start healing. Book online easily via my website. Can't find a time? Send me an email and I can help!
