Do you struggle with treating yourself kindly and with compassion? Do you have concerns in balancing your daily life stressors? Are you having worries about using substances more than you should? In our world today it is easy to become overwhelmed, de-sensitized, and set ourselves on auto-pilot just to survive. With guidance, therapy can help you gain more awareness of your emotional and mental states, learn to navigate interpersonal conflicts, and learn coping skills to facilitate meaningful change and progress.
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning that we are working together to meet your needs and find what works best for you. I believe in harm reduction and working together to learn skills, facilitate awareness, and create balance. I like to utilize CBT, DBT, MI, and Mindfulness. I take a genuine, compassionate, and realistic approach to each person
If you feel this description resonates with you, please do not hesitate to reach out. Taking the first step towards therapy is intimidating and vulnerable, but it can also be relieving to know you are not alone. You deserve support in finding your balance and your peace in this world, and I hope we can work together to achieve your goals.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness practices.
