Do you feel disconnected from yourself or others? Have you had a life transition, trauma or adversity and you're trying to figure out how to cope? Has your sleep, mood or daily functioning been impacted? Perhaps you're struggling with anxiety, relationships, parenting/caregiving stress, low self-esteem, or addictive behaviors and feel ready to prioritize your own needs. I believe positive change is always possible! I’m a dedicated and experienced therapist committed to guiding you on a journey towards healing. I offer a safe space to process thoughts, feelings and experiences, and develop increased capacity for positive growth.
We start by exploring the challenges you’re facing, and create an individualized plan and goals for therapy. I specialize in treating and managing anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, adverse childhood experiences, grief/loss, relational problems, ADHD, and other important life issues. I incorporate helpful skills and approaches like EMDR, IFS, ACT, and CBT.
Please know that you don't need to face your struggles alone. As a compassionate therapist with extensive training and lived experience, I'm here to collaborate with you on your journey towards positive growth and mental wellbeing. Please review my website and contact me to schedule a consultation or first session. I look forward to connecting with you.
