As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I provide a compassionate and direct approach to help you restore energy, set healthy personal and professional boundaries, manage anxiety and build self-confidence. I value creating a trusting therapeutic relationship to better understand your thought patterns and work through challenges together.
I draw from neuroscience-informed care, CBT and ACT to help clients shift unhelpful thought patterns. I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and Parts Work to strengthen emotional regulation, increase clarity, and support lasting change.
I counsel adult clients with:
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Emotional exhaustion and burnout
• Boundary setting and communication
• Sleep disorders
• Relationship challenges and divorce
• Disordered eating, including binge and restrictive patterns
• Depression, hormonal changes and chronic pain
I understand that stress from family responsibilities, relationships or career demands can become overwhelming. Over time, chronic anxiety can affect your sleep, emotional and physical health and relationships, often leading to burnout and emotional exhaustion. If you are ready to start your path to a more replenished version of you, schedule an assessment.
