Who are you? Who do you want to become? What do you need in life to find meaning, purpose, and to grow? What's holding you back? Let's explore these questions together. Therapy can offer a safe space to navigate and find relief from anxiety, difficulty getting started on the things that matter to you, and to process experiences that have shaped who you are. Therapy can help you to understand your past, embrace your present, and create a fulfilling future. Let's uncover your strengths and build a life you love! Contact me today for a free 15-minute consultation.
I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, OCD, PTSD, and more. Using a blend of approaches, I help you find goals you believe in and develop the skills you need to reach them. I offer Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD.
Together we can explore your lived experiences and find meaning and purpose amidst life's uncertainties. I work with clients who have experienced trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, ADHD, hopelessness, self-harm, and relationship conflict.
I offer weekend and evening hours for clients who work during the week. Contact me for current availability!
