We all need a safe space to process thoughts and feelings while learning new ways of coping with life's stressors. It is my honor to provide empathic listening while challenging patterns that block healing and help clients to overcome obstacles, heal and grow.
This work has taught me that when we're struggling, our feelings drive our thoughts, and our thoughts can intensify our feelings, which may lead to actions or behaviors that we later regret. Often, people think that they can't control their thoughts, but this may not be true. I am passionate about teaching skills that aid in breaking this vicious cycle.
I am currently seeing adults 18 years old and older virtually. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and life transitions.

In your first sessions, we will gather information about your life and what brought you to therapy, and work together to set goals that will help you to measure your progress. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but will employ a variety of different treatment types depending upon your needs.
