My ideal clients are adults struggling with anxiety, burnout, anger, emotional overwhelm, grief and relationship challenges. Either in work or home environments, many are used to taking care of everyone else while feeling exhausted, reactive, stuck, or disconnected themselves.
Clients come to therapy wanting to feel calmer, more confident, improve communication, set healthier boundaries, and stop living in survival mode. They want to learn how to regulate emotions and be less reactive.
With over 10 years of experience as a LCSW and Certified Grief Counselor, I help adults navigate anxiety, grief, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution focused Therapy. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, childhood trauma, PTSD, emotional regulation, and life stressors.
If you’re feeling that quiet knowing that something in your life needs to shift, but you’re not sure where to begin, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I’ll meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you find clarity, relief, and a stronger sense of yourself again.
You don’t have to carry this alone anymore! You are capable of change. Reach out!
