I offer safety, acceptance, support, and challenge as we collaborate on the road to thriving. We often feel stuck, critical of ourselves, and unable to initiate taking steps toward change. The unfamiliar can frighten us into accepting our current circumstances. Let's work together and shift your feelings and thoughts that can lead you toward making changes in your life that get you to thriving! I work with people coping with anxiety, depression, PTSD, inaction, and a lack of connection. Often times folks have spent years of wondering 'what's wrong with me' or 'why can't I be happy'? I want to help you with these questions.
I have a strengths based perspective with empathy and connection at the foundation. You'll find that my therapy practice is rooted in understanding you and then collaborating with you. I am not a sit and nod my head therapist. I am an active partner with you and together we will help you create the life you want with challenge and support. Let's begin!
Send an email so we can get started. I have immediate telehealth openings and my schedule is flexible.

The types of treatment I use shifts as this is personalized to you. I frequently lean into cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral as they are strengths based and keep you in the driver's seat toward healing and thriving. I also frequently employ internal family systems because all of us have parts that are more loud at any given time and deserving of care and attention.
