Sometimes life can get overwhelming and push us past our limits. This can happen as a result of stress, relationship issues, or past traumatic experiences. You might find yourself experiencing things like sadness, anxiety, or hopelessness and relying on unhelpful coping behaviors that don’t reflect your values or what you want for your life. If any of this resonates, I believe that I can help. As a licensed therapist, I use empathy and unconditional positive regard to empower my clients to pursue the relationships with others and with themselves that they want.
I have thorough training in anxiety, depression, body image/disordered eating, and trauma. I use approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy, parts work, and mindfulness training to not only decrease symptoms, but address their root causes and promote healing. My strongest tool is the therapeutic relationship that I create with my clients.
Convenience is paramount to me, which is why I focus on virtual sessions with my clients. If you’re ready to take the first step toward change, I’d love to support you on your journey. Reach out today for a free consultation to see if we’re the right fit. I look forward to helping you find relief and rediscover hope.
