Are you feeling overwhelmed or frustrated? Or do you want to have a more positive relationship with your partner?

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Our unique hardships in life can be overwhelming and create feelings of anxiety, stress, and isolation. This can lead to harmful thoughts and behaviors that leave us feeling depleted and empty inside. In order to change our behavior, we need to first understand it. My aim is to help you learn effective ways to break the cycle of self defeating thoughts and actions and access the tools needed to thrive and regain a sense of joy in life. Through a client-centered and evidenced-based behavioral approach, I strive to provide the compassion and guidance needed to allow you to believe that change is possible.

There's no denying that life isn't always easy. Whatever you may be going through, it always helps to connect with someone and open up about what you're thinking, feeling, and doing in an attempt to make some improvements. Given that you're here, you've already made a great first step!

NOT Accepting New Clients. See below for groups that I offer! I work well with young adult and adult clients who are experiencing life transitions and change, who require support with self esteem and managing stress, and who are motivated for counseling. From my experience, I've worked well with those who identify as givers and require assistance with self care and work/life balance. Come as you are and we will explore if it feels like a good fit. We will explore your goals and go with the flow as to what you need from the session that day.
