Research shows that joy is the hardest human emotion to truly experience.

Let's get to work and get you where you want to be. I'm here to provide options, ideas, solutions, and the strategies to help get you there. I like to use the term "level up", as a description of honing the strengths and tools you already have. Together we can define and refine those skills you already have and also offer new approaches and mental tools that you can incorporate in your personal development journey. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing in a strengths-based, solution focused format. Time to level up to your best self, you got this!

Does part or most of your life feel more difficult than you think it should. Are you having problems sleeping, gaining or losing weight, worrying too much or stressed most of the time. Do you have feelings of being stuck, sad, hopeless, guilt or shame? Do you have a porn addiction or sex problems. Are your relationships falling apart or are you fighting all the time and you don't know why? Do you have a hard time focusing/completing your work? You are not alone. Just like a cough is a symptom of a cold. These symptoms are your body and mind telling you there might be a problem. I can help with these and other issues.

Do you know who you are? Outside of your roles and responsibilities, who are you? What does your inner voice sound like? What do you need right now? What thoughts keep you up at night? What are your values? These are some of the questions that help allow you to build self-trust and create clarity in your life. I am here to guide, encourage and highlight what I see to help you come to clear solutions. My experience lies in working with individuals who are struggling with adjusting to life changes or balancing new roles/identities. I am honest and direct, allowing us to get to the root of your issue, trauma, or grief more effectively.
