As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I utilize evidenced-based approaches to help clients manage anxiety, depression, and life stressors. These approaches focus on building insight into thought patterns, developing emotional regulation skills, and practicing effective coping strategies. I also have extensive experience working with family members impacted by severe mental illness, within the family system. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, struggling with low mood or worry, or working through challenges in communication and connection to others, these approaches can help.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to each individual. It is my goal as a therapist to provide the highest quality work in my profession in a non-judgmental and empathic environment, so you always feel safe and supported. Taking the first step towards healing takes courage, and I would be honored to be part of your journey.
At this time, I am only providing individual therapy. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please click my website link. Thank you!
