Let's Build Hope! I strive to create a validating, non-judgmental environment to teach you skills to manage anxiety, overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and modify behaviors. You can develop the healthy life you desire. Humans experience emotions! Sometimes we may think there is a right way and a wrong way to feel and distress means, we are feeling the wrong way. That is a ton of pressure! Sometimes, our emotions become distressing. Sometimes we worry. Few are taught to manage emotions and anxiety effectively and distress can lead to self-blame, defeated feelings, strained relationships, self-harm, and more. I can help!
I believe in treating clients holistically. We are more than our mental health. However, I specialize in the treatment of Anxiety no matter the cause. My clinical focus is creating an environment that is safe and promotes personal growth. My clients learn to replace unhealthy coping skills and problematic anxiety response with skills, proven to work.
I work with individuals and families from various cultural backgrounds, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity. My hours vary for easy accessibility. I will be happy to answer additional questions or concerns you have. I look forward to helping you. You will be Successful and Overcome the difficulties you are experiencing.

I primarily work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and Trauma. During the first few session we will engage in "talk" therapy with skills introduced as needed. Later sessions become a collaboration of talk, skill building and support. My clients often report feeling supported and more in control of their lives resulting in greater life satisfaction.

I often use a combination of talk therapy and DBT skill building for individuals. After assessing your needs and starting to work through some of the immediate stressors, we can begin integrating psychoeducation and skill building. During treatment you will learn things like: how to break problematic cycles, establish healthy boundaries and manage your emotions in less reactive ways.
