Handling problems on your own can be a good decision. But when things don't improve and life becomes overwhelming, getting help might be necessary. Sometimes, people are reluctant to go to therapy because they see it as a sign of weakness. It can be difficult to open up and be vulnerable to someone new. But there are times when everyone needs help and guidance through life's challenges. I understand this relutance and I'm here to make this process as easy and as helpful as possible. I will listen to your problems, give you encouragement and support, and teach you the skills you need to improve your life.

Not all of us are given the book on how to have healthy and fulfilling relationships with others or ourselves. It takes courage to explore and share what we are struggling with and begin to write (or rewrite) our book on how we want to feel and be in the world. You deserve to experience connection, relief, and acceptance in order to feel secure enough to explore and take risks in life. My goal is to get curious about the blocks that keep you from experiencing those qualities and collaborate with you to remove them.

Day-to-day life can be challenging! When you add symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma, life becomes unbearable. Naturally, we are not born knowing how to navigate the flood of feelings or the loneliness that comes from stress, trauma, and losses. Attempting to fix it yourself or ignoring the problem can result in a cycle of escalating emotions. But you don't have to do this alone. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where together we process your personality, values, and strengths and use them to get you to a better and calmer place. I use evidence-based psychotherapy approaches that best suit you, including CBT and ACT.
