Life can start to feel smaller when anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship struggles, or self-doubt begin making decisions for you. You may find yourself overthinking, avoiding situations, feeling emotionally stuck, or repeating patterns you can't seem to break. Therapy offers a space to understand what's happening beneath the surface while building practical tools to create lasting change. While I create a safe and empathetic environment for my clients, I also bring a realistically optimistic spirit to the therapy room to foster resilience, self-efficacy, and empowerment.
I can help with a variety of concerns, including: life stressors, couples counseling, LGBTQ issues, depression, loneliness, anger, anxiety, perfectionism, trauma/ PTSD, OCD, marital counseling, family conflict, interpersonal (relationship & communication) problems, grief/ bereavement and sexual disorders.
My hope is that now that you are here, you won't wait any longer to reach out and get the help you deserve. I provide free video consultations, and I'm available Monday through Friday. You can book a consultation at any time through our easy-to-use website. I look forward to meeting you!
