Prioritizing your mental health is important during these times. I am providing telehealth at reduced rates to help work through the stress
About
Welcome! I believe that we all have the capacity to transform our lives, sometimes we just need an experienced professional to help us through. I work with teens and adults who are working through issues surrounding anxiety, depression, relationships, self esteem, trauma, and life transitions (any changes, planned or unplanned, that are stressful or difficult). I also specialize in work with young adults living with chronic illness.
My approach is strength based and solution focused. I am trained in using Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy techniques. I work from a solution focused standpoint but I blend strategies from other modalities to create a plan of action that is unique to you.
I lean in to my work with honesty, compassion, and a bit of humor. We will create a safe, collaborative space where you can be open about your experiences. We will process difficult emotions, challenge not so productive thinking patterns, and work on goals that are important to YOU. Let us work on cultivating a life you are proud to have.
