So many of us are dealing with pressures from all different directions. It's easy to get caught up and forget to take time to care for self. If you are feeling worn out and unsure how to change things, or just need space to sort through things, I'd like to help. Counseling can show you ways to slow down your thoughts, reduce anxiety, and regain sense of self. We can take the steps for you to start feeling better and build better coping skills. Whether you are feeling stuck or just need to know that you're are being heard, take the first step on your journey forward. Please note: 16 years and older only
My approach is about developing different tools and learning how to use them in a way that is unique to you. Therapy is all about finding the right path that works for you. I genuinely care so I have been so proud and excited for clients as they find their inner strength. Its an honor to walk through it all with my clients.
In past work with trauma victims,I was often touched by their resilience. People often aren't even aware of the strength they posses. Let's take the time to find it. Anxiety, life change, and PTSD have become a strong point in my practice. The journey is yours. Please take the step and call. Discover the way forward. I work with clients aged 16 and Older.

I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This helps us understand how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors. I also incorporate ACT, which is Acceptance and Commitment. It adds the view that our feelings aren't good or bad necessarily. They are just human. It helps identity avoidance behaviors and ways to move through them. For couples, I am Level 1 Gottman trained, pursuing further ed
