Are you feeling overwhelmed and wonder if therapy is right for you? Perhaps you wish to feel normal again and want to know if this can be done without medication. I am here for you. We can work together to understand you and your life, how to fix what's going wrong & build on your strengths, and identify how to prevent or minimize problems from re-occurring. I help adults going through depression, anxiety, change or loss, worrying, insomnia, stress, sadness, relationship needs, and health concerns. I take a symptom-focused, practical, and honest approach to our work together as therapist and patient.
My approach is warm and professional. I focus on the interaction between your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors and how they affect your health and wellbeing. Learn more about my practice by watching my video on my practice website linked on this page.
Many of my clients see improvements after just one or two sessions, even those who have never been in therapy before. Please contact me by phone (leave a confidential message) or email to set up an initial consultation to see if we can be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
