Do you find yourself feeling "stuck" in life? Do you feel dissatisfied with the way your life "should" or "shouldn't" be? Therapy is a great way to discuss these concerns with a professional and to learn ways to take control over what feels like the uncontrollable. I work to create a safe environment for you to process the things that are getting in your way of living the life you want to live. If you’re feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can help you reconnect with your strengths and start moving toward the life you want.
I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience working in mental health and would love to help you learn ways to manage your stressful situations and feelings better. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but I tailor therapy to fit your individual needs.
Many times, the exact problems we are facing get in our way of asking for help. With depression you could lack motivation to make the first call, or send the first email for an appointment. With anxiety, you could worry about meeting someone new. Please consider taking this time to focus on you, and get the help you deserve.
