Curiosity is a powerful and beneficial mindset when it comes to understanding your thoughts. I help clients learn how to become curious about their thinking and identify thoughts that truly support their overall goals.
During our work together, I explain why positive affirmations often do not work and why negative self-talk tends to persist. I have developed an evidence-based template that helps increase your ability to generate thoughts that genuinely serve you. This approach can help you move toward becoming the person you want to be and create lasting, meaningful change.
I have been a therapist for 16 years and have been in private practice for over 13 years. My training includes evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am experienced in working with family dysfunction, addiction, legal system involvement, spiritual/faith struggles, marriage challenges, and chronic health conditions.
As a cancer survivor who has also faced mental health issues and family dysfunction, I bring professional experience and deep compassion to my work. I hope to support and guide you through life’s heavier seasons while helping you move toward healing, clarity, and resilience.
