Life presents challenges to all of us. If you're feeling overwhelmed with anxiety, depleted with depression, do what many are not brave enough to do: ask someone to walk with you. I have been helping people with life's challenges for over 17 years, and specialize in working with depression, anxiety, grief, and loss.
My approach is collaborative and encourages development of practical skills. We work together on modifying unhealthy or unhelpful coping patterns that have likely contributed to the maintenance of depression or anxiety in your life. It's possible that years of habitual coping patterns now cause or contribute to your difficulties.
Moving forward with appropriate support can be far more effective. I am a genuine and authentic therapist - a real person just like you. Developing a trusting therapeutic relationship is the first step. If you think we might be a good fit, reach out to me for a consultation. I'd love to meet you!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques in my practice. In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to make progress. With CBT, we will look at how thoughts impact emotions and experiences. During treatment we will work on modifying thoughts to support progress toward your goals.
