Hello there, I have immediate openings! Life can get messy, overwhelming, and downright exhausting. If you're feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, low motivation, or self-esteem struggles — you're not alone. Sometimes our emotions feel so intense they start to get in the way of living the life we want. You deserve a life that feels meaningful, peaceful, and genuinely your own! I’m here to help you reconnect with your most authentic self — the version of you that feels grounded, confident, and capable. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore what’s holding you back and develop tools that actually work.
Through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectal behavioral therapy, EMDR, motivational therapy, and true active listening we can work together to uncover and challenge those negative core beliefs and automatic thoughts we may not even realize we’re having. In addition, we can work together to build a tool box filled with mindfulness and coping skills.
Reaching out for help can be the most difficult step, but also the most rewarding. Through virtual visits, we can connect while you are in the comfort of your space. I look forward to building off this comfort with a nonjudgmental space where you feel welcome to share your struggles and become open to all the possibilities therapy has to offer.
