You’re not sure when it happened, but you don’t recognize the person you see in the mirror. As far as everyone else can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re accomplished, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you never feel good enough and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short, or of events from the past pulling your focus away from the here and now. You spend your time and energy trying to keep it all together and giving your time to everyone but yourself. You feel exhausted and you know something needs to change. And you know the time is now!

Life's not going how you want? When I first went into therapy, I thought I was going to find out terrible things about myself. What I discovered was that I was simply a human being. I mention this so you will know that working with me is not a blame game but an exploration of what is working well in your life, and what is not. Then together we develop strategies for you to create the life you want.

Have you found yourself feeling stuck or in a slump lately? With everything going on today, on top of your own responsibilities, it can be easy to get lost in the chaos. Therapy should be something that is healing and assists the client in gaining insight. I like to meet the client where they are and fit in where there is a need. If you think of mental health as a life long race, each runner has their own pace. There is never really a finish line because anything can throw someone off at any given moment. It is my goal to equip my clients with the tools to run their race and be prepared to take on any challenges that may arise.

I use an eclectic approach, and use ACT, Mindfulness, CBT, BT, Play Therapy, Client Centered, and Brief Solution Focused among others.

I have helped many individuals with anxiety, depression, specific phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, sleep disturbance, and difficulties related to medical conditions. I value the uniqueness and strengths of individuals while utilizing evidence-based treatments, primarily focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

I offer support for my clients to develop coping skills, reduce stress, improve self-esteem and create healthier relationships through better communication.
