Are you tired of repeating the same patterns over and over again? Are you ready to make changes in your life? I can help you develop new healthy coping tools and gain power over your life. If you are experiencing difficulty with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, communication, relationships, or just feel "stuck " I can help provide some relief and guidance. I use a warm, collaborate and evidence-based approach to help you utilize better coping strategies, gain support, understand your emotions, challenge your negative thought patterns, find and develop your strengths, and set your own personal goals.
I tend to be more direct in working together, attempting to create change and leaving you with skills you can use outside of sessions. I believe that a safe therapeutic relationship filled with compassion, empathy, humor, and acceptance is essential. I want you to want to come to our sessions while also feeling accomplished and challenged.
I earned my Doctorate degree in clinical psychology. I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, Family Systems, Gottman's Couples Therapy Level I, Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, and Integrative Therapy. Contact me today to start creating lasting changes and increase your quality of life! I can't wait to help you on your healing journey.

I use a direct client centered approach to create change. I am not a therapist that sits back and just listens to you talk. I often utilize a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, self-compassion exercises to challenge shame, EMDR to treat trauma, and other skills to manage emotions. My goal is help alleviate symptoms and create lasting change.
