Are you starting to question if the way it’s always been is the way it has to be? How we learn to survive in one environment doesn't always help us thrive in a different one. Letting go of what used to serve us isn’t easy. I work with individuals who are ready to make changes in their life in order to build a life they don’t feel the need to escape from.
I am a LCSW with over 10 years of experiencing working with adults experiencing a range of challenges including depression, mania, anxiety, psychosis, substance misuse, and trauma. Your experiences and therapy needs are unique so I work to provide a customized intervention approach based on the needs and goals of each client.
I believe you already have the capacity to heal and achieve great things, you just need some help uncovering that capacity. Let's create a trusting, supportive, and honest relationship to work together to build a life of peace and wellness. Call, message, or visit my website to set up a free consultation so we can get started!

I use a combination of treatment interventions based on the client's needs and expressed wishes. You're unique and your therapy should be as well! All brains are different and I offer a flexible approach so we can change directions if a specific intervention doesn't resonate with you.
