Now Accepting New Clients!
Are you looking for a meaningful change in your life? We all face unique challenges—whether it's dealing with stress, anxiety, self-doubt, self-esteem, alcohol or other substance use or navigating major life changes. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed or uncertain at times, but you don’t have to face these challenges alone. I utilize several different modalities in my counseling approach, including person centered, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, CBT, DBT relapse prevention and motivational interviewing.
My therapeutic approach combines evidence-based methods tailored to your specific needs. Together, we’ll explore how your thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns have formed, and work on identifying healthier coping skills to support and reach your goals.
I would like to provide you a supportive, compassionate space so you can feel truly heard and valued, free from judgment.
I offer individual therapy for individuals ages 18 and up.
