Now accepting new private pay and clients with insurance and who want therapy for "real" life.
You look fine on the outside, but are fighting to hold it together inside.
My ideal client is motivated and wants to feel and function better. You’re exhausted from overthinking and living in fear. Maybe you can't stop procrastinating and beat yourself up for not being able to knock out tasks and accomplish goals. You seek someone authentic, enthusiastic and committed to helping you find clarity. You want to to feel confident and capable. You want relief and a healthier relationship with yourself.
I am direct, warm and committed to your growth. I help examine your negative thoughts & core beliefs, while honoring your history & treating you as the trusted expert on your life. I help you strengthen the mind/body connection with in-session exercises, mindfulness & techniques to create safety, calm and regulate your nervous system.
Do you feel like your mind never stops racing or second guess every choice? Are you exhausted from trying to keep up and use avoidance & procrastination to manage day to day? You don’t have to carry everything alone. Discover what’s possible, let’s see if we’re a good fit.
