If you've been in a slump, need answers, or your life feels out of control, speaking to a therapist may be just the thing to get you through this time of your life. Therapists are not alike. We bring with us our personalities and skill sets, and that's ok! Maybe you've never been to a therapist. Maybe you've been to several. My focus is on your goals (so, start thinking about what you want out of therapy). I use a very cerebral approach to your healing. We will identify, dissect, and reformulate the way you see the world around you in a loving and compassionate environment. If you're ready for change, then I'm your gal.
I am dedicated to building a sustainable model of healing. My model of treatment will provide comfort, but also growth. I am going to encourage you to make some adjustments in your thinking and in your behaviors; because if nothing changes, nothing changes. We will laugh and we will cry - together!
Life is hard! A 40-year longitudinal study was published about a year ago in New Zealand studying thousands of people. They learned that it is RARE to NOT have depression at all in your life. So, it's more likely you'll have it for a while than not. But we are so stigmatized by "going to therapy". Let's get rid of that social narrative. Call me today.

My favorite modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. I strongly follow Aaron Beck's CBT theories in my approach. What will that look like for you? Mostly like talk therapy. I will sometimes get formal with my therapy and you'll know because I will be teaching you along the way. Other times, we will be processing through together.
