Close your eyes and imagine what life would be like without the anxiety, sadness, self-criticism, and low self-esteem weighing you down. To be able to move past some of the awful things that have happened to you. To be able to let go of the hurt and disappointment you've been holding on to. What would it feel like to be unstuck, to have clarity in your life and your relationships? To feel at peace with yourself and your circumstances. What would it feel like to feel confident and empowered over your life and believe you truly deserve it. It might be really hard to imagine that life, but you can have it. And I can help you get there.
I'm a holistic licensed clinical psychologist with a decade of clinical experience. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic illness & parenting issues. I treat teens, young adults and mothers. I incorporate evidence based approaches (mindfulness, CBT, DBT & ACT) while ensuring they're tailored to your unique needs.
I know the search for a therapist can be a daunting one. Therapy itself is hard but it can be a beautiful journey with the right therapist. If you're ready to get out of survival mode to THRIVE and live to your fullest potential...then schedule a free 15 min consult call today. Let's see if we're a great fit!
