Feeling stuck, or like you can't turn your mind off? These feelings can happen when we are in difficult and stressed times. My goal is to provide a safe space to explore thoughts and feeling and develop strategies to address these. Together, we’ll explore tools such as thought reframing, challenging negative perceptions, strengthening communication and boundaries, cultivating self-awareness, and developing effective coping skills.
I specialize in working with first responders, adults, and elder adults, tailoring my support to meet the unique needs of each group.

I work with clients who have anxiety, depression and self esteem issues. What we tell ourselves and what our parents have told us can define how we feel about ourselves. The message is often we are "not good enough". I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients to get rid of the habits and thoughts that may keep them anxious and stressed. A big part of my work is teaching people to negotiate and effectively talk with families and friends, and to be heard and understood without causing any drama. I have trained people in assertiveness and taught parenting classes.

My clients are usually navigating major life transitions, whether it's an academic shift, a career change, or a period of deep personal instability. They often feel overwhelmed by uncertainty and plagued by anxiety or depression, largely driven by a need to regain control in a world that feels unpredictable. This desire for control can sometimes manifest in compulsive behaviors or self-destructive patterns as they try to cope with chaos. They’re not just looking to “feel better,” they want to understand themselves more deeply, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a life that aligns with their values and aspirations.
