Counselor, LPC

What would you do tomorrow if you woke up free from that little voice of doubt, anxiety, and self-loathing? As a therapist, I love to explore the answer to that question with you. It’s my belief that we all are deserving of living into our greatest selves, but that this voice and its irrational nature prevent us from doing so. In an effort to change its narrative, we work together to explore, challenge, and reframe the negative core beliefs at the root of your suffering. It is the dual process of building self-awareness through empathetic exploration of blind-spots and the development of a strong therapeutic connection.

Your anxieties and worries are controlling too much of your life. That anxious inner voice won’t quiet down, and it’s just so convincing - you're frustrated that you listen to it, but you're scared not to. What if you ignore it and your worst fears come true? You know it’s irrational, but your anxiety just won’t let your brain believe the truth. You overthink so many things, and your inner dialog is exhausting you.

While life can be joyful and beautiful, at times it can also be painful and lonely. At times like this it can be helpful to have someone who's been there - who's experienced addiction and significant grief and loss - to share the journey through hard times. Adding to my personal experience and using up to date, research based techniques I accept clients where they are and help them get to where they want to go. Whether recovering from addiction and/or mental illness, resolving grief, or just coping with life's difficulties you don't have to journey alone.
