Hi there! I love that you are thinking about starting therapy. I applaud you for your courage in doing so, I've done it myself and it's never easy! In fact, part of why I became a therapist is because it's hard to find a good therapist and so I wanted to fill those gaps. My ideal client is someone who is already somewhat self reflective, introspective and mindful of their own behavior patterns and wanting to expand on this knowledge and have someone else who is unbiased to hear them out. Life is chaotic and crazy, but can also be beautiful. I enjoy being there for the ups and downs, and sharing in the joys and the sorrows with you.
I offer cognitive behavioral therapy, which is typically just talk therapy or narrative therapy. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and I let you guide your sessions. My approach is gentle and nurturing, but can also be firm and hold you accountable or call you out on your BS when necessary. I use humor as a coping mechanism and also in therapy.
I would love to hear about what you are hoping to address in therapy and what life goals or changes that you've had on your mind and heart lately, and to support you in those in whatever ways that I can.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or panic disorder, complex trauma, women's issues and more. During our initial sessions, we will look deeper into the areas you wish to address and create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you feel more like your genuine self. Many folks see a gradual improvement in symptoms in the first month and sustained improvement after that.

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 change negative, unhelpful thought processes and learn healthier ways of thinking.
