Do you fear change in 2025? Breakups, family conflicts, or loss can feel overwhelming, but they also lead to growth. With over 20 years of experience, I work with people from all walks of life to build resilience, navigate challenges, and improve relationships. I am specialty trained to use evidence-based therapies (EBTs), that have been studied, tested, and shown to work well. EBTs like CBT and mindfulness, can be tailored every session to your unique needs. CBT is cognitive (thinking) behavioral (action/non-action) therapy that help us better understand your problem and what to do to help you feel better. We can do this together.
My approach fosters a relaxed and supportive environment where you can gain understanding, self-awareness, and thrive. I offer online therapy sessions for problems like depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, and achieving personal and professional success. I'm specialty trained in EBTs for sleep, depresion, anxiety, and trauma/PTSD.
In our rapidly changing world, the demands of work, relationships, and personal challenges can feel overwhelming. You don’t have to face it alone. Seeking support takes courage. If you're ready for change, let’s connect. You can text, call or book directly for a free 15 minute consultation.
