I believe that our present day emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are linked to experiences from our past, and those events not only impact our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, but they also impact how we view ourselves and our relationships today. It’s my goal to help you grow in your self-esteem and self-acceptance, and to create the language and thought process to believe in yourself, advocate for yourself, and to be optimistic towards yourself. My ideal client is someone who is motivated and ready to challenge their current way of thinking as it relates to life and themselves as a whole.
On our first meeting, I'll ask you what your long term goal is with your mental health. We will work together to break that long term goal down into short term goals to take things a day at a time. Change is a process and Rome wasn't built in a day! I want you to have patience with yourself while you push yourself, and I'll be here to cheer you on!
Therapy can be intimidating at first. Not only is finding the right therapist a chore, but challenging your known way of thinking is exhausting! It's a huge step in an unknown direction for a lot of people. I am so proud of you for making the exploration to better yourself, and I am so honored and thankful to you for taking the time to read a bit about me.

I am someone who believes that past emotions, behaviors, and thoughts impact not only present day emotions, behaviors, and thoughts, but in how we view and talk to ourselves and to the ones we love. To support you in that self-discovery, I utilize Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy as a foundation in our sessions.
