Now accepting new clients! Do you worry a lot or always assume the worst is going to happen? How about your tendency to be a "people-pleaser," causing a lack in setting healthy boundaries with others for fear you will disappoint them? Maybe saying "NO" makes you feel very uncomfortable, therefore you avoid doing so. Is trauma from your past negatively affecting your daily life or creating self-sabotaging behavior in your relationships? Anxiety, stress, depression, and lack of life balance are so common today. If you can relate to any of this, you are not alone and you don't need to struggle in silence. I am here to help.
My non-judgmental and caring approach to therapy makes even the most anxious person feel comfortable. After meeting with me, you will be able identify and change negative thought patterns, implement healthy boundaries with confidence, feel more motivated to reach personal goals, and practice self-love to increase overall happiness.
I have 18 of experience and training as a mental health clinician. Clients have shared that they can relate to and connect well with me. Reaching out for help is a big and often daunting step, but I know you will be glad that you took it!

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapy, and brainspotting (BSP) as therapeutic approaches. All of these are highly effective, including via virtual sessions, in addressing anxiety, stress, and trauma. CBT targets negative thoughts to make them more positive and accurate. Strengths approach focuses on existing strengths. Please refer to my website for more info on BSP.
