Is it challenging for you to identify, understand, and talk about your emotions? Are you setting healthy boundaries? I work with clients to develop healthy coping strategies to promote wellness as it relates to the impact of trauma or stressful experiences from the past. I'll work with you on utilizing your resources, strengths, and skills to overcome challenges and work through setbacks. I also specialize in working with college and graduate students. Congratulations on taking the first (and often most difficult step) of seeking mental health services. The best day to start is today!
Me and my pet Pumpkin
My approach focuses on utilizing a holistic, strengths-based approach. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for past disturbing memories and related events. I also use skills and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused therapy.
Take the first step towards a happier and healthier you! Contact me today to schedule your free 15-minute consultation and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Let's walk this path of healing and growth together. Your transformation begins now!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We will look at how you can become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking, so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them more effectively.
