Do you often feel stuck in life? Not knowing how to navigate big changes that occur? Do you often think about past regrets, or worry too much about the future? Does anxiety and stress stop you from accomplishing the things you want in life? Do you need help to find purpose or motivation in daily activities? If you answered yes to any of the questions above and need help overcoming these challenges and reach your goals in life, I may be able to help.
I believe in solution focused therapy, where we find out the why to the problems that are causing issues, cognitive behavioral therapy, where we challenge irrational thoughts and perspectives that may be causing chaos in our lives, and family systems, knowing that whom we were raised by and what supports we have had growing up impact us to this very day.
If any of this resonates with you I urge you to reach out to me or anyone else in the mental health community whom can help you realize your potential. You came to this website looking for help. Don't stop the process, push forward, continue on, and fight through the stressors of acknowledging that you may need help with issues in your life.

I use an integrated treatment where I combine one or more modalities into a custom treatment type for your specific needs. With that in mind, I always use person centered, motivational interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the foundation of the treatment, while always reassessing what other treatment types may be beneficial for the client.
