Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, MA

Have you tried talk therapy before? It helped you gain some insight, but you still did not get the relief that you wanted. You connected all the dots, but you don't know what to do next? Now that you see the bigger picture, you need more tools. You probably have been learning mediation, yoga, repairing your nervous system, but those things in your rear-view mirror are still holding you back. You know where you want to be and who you truly are. But you feel like there is some invisible barrier or force pulling you to stay where you are at. You are tired of feeling stuck.

If you're reading this, you know you're ready for change. I work with people who are tired of repeating maladaptive behavioral and thought patterns who have finally decided to end their suffering by putting themselves first. We'll dive deep into all aspects of your life - family, social, work, romantic, health, sleep, relationship with self, and spirituality (if applicable). We'll uncover any deficits in these areas and gain insight into the triggers causing the distress so we can get you the relief you deserve. When working with me, my goal is not to get you dependent on me but to make you the expert in your thoughts and behaviors.

If you're stressed, burned out, & overwhelmed, it's not your fault. Know that you don't have to suck it up & deal or settle for less than you deserve just because society rewards overworking & putting yourself last (F**k that)! A more peaceful & pleasurable life is possible for you. As a busy, successful adult, you know how to get things accomplished, but it may feel impossible to slow down & enjoy your success without everything falling apart. I can help you step away from the hustle & grind status quo & into work-life balance. I'm honored to be your supportive guide while you go from surviving to thriving!

Sometimes, difficult things happen in life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or even isolated. You might try to cope with these situations by using strategies you used before, only to realize they don't work as well anymore. As a result, you may find your distress has started to affect other areas of your life (school, work, relationships, etc.) As a Clinical Psychologist, I have a lot of experience in providing evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families who have found themselves in such situations. I also specialize in providing services to military/veteran populations and juvenile offenders.
