Our modern culture sets an accelerated external rhythm, As a therapist, I have observed that this rhythm has contributed to higher levels of stress, which has fueled increasing levels of depression, anxiety and loss of connection in relationship. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, racing thoughts, panic, burnout, loneliness and isolation. Using a framework of CBT, I partner with individuals to help them challenge negative messages of worry and self-doubt. In working with couples my goal is to help create emotional intimacy and maturity in relationship. I collaborate with clients in developing growth and optimal functioning.

Mental illness and relationship problems are no longer taboo topics of conversation; they are real and widespread issues. A lot of people suffer quietly because they are afraid of being called "crazy" or told, "just stop feeling that way." If it were that easy, no one would have problems! The reality is that we all need help. We all need healthy relationships. We all need hope. My roles as a therapist are to show you empathy, emotional support, and acceptance, and to help you thrive no matter where you are on your mental health journey.
