I support clients where they are in their lives, whether they are experiencing anxiety or depression, or whether they need a safe space to process their thoughts and emotions without judgement. At Strength Within Mental Health Care and Consulting, I believe that all people have the power and strength to heal, but that they often need a safe space and a listening ear to find it within themselves. I have over 20 years of experience working with people who have struggled with mental health symptoms and diagnosis, including those with anxiety disorders, depressive symptoms, along with other diagnosis, such as Bipolar.
I offer individual psychotherapy for those experiencing difficulties at home or at work environments, with expressing their feelings and thoughts. I have helped clients with challenges within their relationships, along with supporting those that are struggling with life transitions. I work with adolescents and adults and provide a safe space for processing.
Please contact my office if you believe you need support in coping with life challenges and stressors, or assistance in increasing relationship and healthy communications. Together we can find that strength that is within you.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
