Everyone experiences unpleasant feelings such as anxiety, stress, and depression sometimes, but it's when these feelings build up without a healthy outlet that they can really effect our quality of life. The good news is that negative feelings are very manageable, and once you understand why you have certain unhelpful thoughts/behaviors/responses, you can learn to manage them in a more productive way that brings relief. Everyone needs someone they can trust and talk to who is outside their inner circle and meeting with a therapist can be a great step towards finding relief and understanding.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, but offer therapy to all ages. My approach is simple and solution-focused: I like to encourage real, reflective conversations where you feel comfortable and in the driver's seat. Humor can be a great tool in therapy and I encourage the use of humor to highlight the humanness in all of us.
I work to meet you where you're at, without judgement or an agenda. We can meet to go for a walk and talk, meet in a traditional office setting, or meet virtually, it all works for me! Thank you for taking a look at my page. Please email or call me if you'd like to talk to learn more about my therapeutic approach and see if it would be a good fit!

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety and/or depression related to their relationships or past experiences. Our first session will be an intake, where I learn about what you're experiencing and what your therapeutic goals are. Then we can put together a plan to help shape our sessions. Most of my client begin to feel some relief from their symptoms within the first few sessions.

I use an eclectic blend of therapy models, but most often mix Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Solution-Focused Therapy. Both of these models focus on the present and involve the client reframing their perspective in a more growth mindset that focuses on the areas that they can control and make steps towards improving. I also provide psychoeducation to help understand the mind/body connection.
