When your feelings and emotions affect your ability to live peacefully and enjoy life, I can help. Life is difficult and complicated; sometimes it is hard to make sense of it all.

So many of us are walking around with unhealed wounds. Healing is a process that takes time, support, encouragement, courage, and validation. Therapy can be an integral part of the healing process for many. I utilize therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Theory, and Attachment Theory to help clients navigate the healing process. We dive deeply into unconscious processes and work on bringing them into consciousness. We work on quieting the inner critic and living in true authenticity through vulnerability and courage.

My clinical focus targets individuals who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, impulsivity, co-dependency, and poor boundaries with others and self. I nurture connection and trust while giving my clients emotional freedom to explore the barriers that block them from their true potential. Those barriers may involve: COVID-19, relationships, work, losing weight, school, family, friends, grief, trauma, learning to say no. Therapy can be scary to think about, so I consider my greatest strength as a clinician is meeting my clients where they are emotionally.
