My patients are usually struggling with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or personality disorders. My ideal patient is seeking support in coping with these issues and improving their overall well-being. Their needs may include finding strategies to manage their symptoms, learning to understand and process their emotions, and developing healthier coping mechanisms. Their ultimate goal may be to improve their mental health, increase their self-esteem and resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I provide personalized therapy to help clients change negative thoughts and behaviors. I want to foster a safe, empathetic environment, where you can develop coping skills and problem-solving techniques. I want clients to take an active role in their healing.

I understand that reaching out for help can be challenging, but I want you to know that I am here to support you. I empathize with your struggles, as it is a privilege to be a part of someone's journey towards healing. I'm here for you! Call my office anytime and press option 1 for immediate assistance with scheduling visits or answering any questions.
