So you finally made the decision to start looking for a therapist! It can feel a little intimidating to start this journey, but you've taken the first step and that is no small feat. Initially, many of my clients begin therapy feeling like things in their life just aren't quite right or they aren't where they'd like to be mentally. I'm here to help you explore those issues and to make a plan for how to work through them to become the person you'd like to be.
I have worked in the mental health field since 2010 and continue to be inspired by my clients and passionate about my work. My approach to therapy is holistic, yet direct and practical in addressing real-life issues. I focus on identifying your strengths and utilizing them to create tangible change in your life.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or a life transition, I'm here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to work through this difficult time. We will focus on self-awareness, healthy coping skills, and solutions to get you feeling better. I look forward to meeting you!

In your first session, we'll take a look at what made you decide to get into therapy and then consider the most appropriate way to help you reach your goals. With CBT, we'll learn about the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I'll help you identify ways to challenge your negative thoughts and feelings in order to lead to your preferred outcome.
