I have 18 years of experience as a mental health provider. I have worked with clients who have worked through depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD, and adjustment problems. I can offer this type of experience and help guide you to a level that has a more positive outcome.
I can help by clarifying what is at the surface and beneath the surface of your troubles. I have a variety of techniques that will guide you through working through anxiety and depression.
I understand how difficult it is to be at a point where it seems overwhelming for you. Sometimes you need a neutral person without judgment to help you through your struggles.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial session, we will examine the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing ways that will help you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use different Cognitive Behavioral Therapies in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we will look at how your thoughts can affect your well-being and experiences. During treatment, I will help you learn how to push back against thoughts and feelings for the better.
