As a mental health professional, I work with clients aged 15 to 90, addressing challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and addiction. My ideal client is open to self-exploration and seeks relief from overwhelming emotions. Together, we identify their unique needs and goals, whether enhancing coping strategies or building resilience. Clients desire connection and understanding while striving for fulfilling lives, and I am committed to empowering them on their journey toward healing. If you're ready to reclaim your life and explore your potential, I invite you to reach out for support.
My services include one-on-one counseling and coping strategy development to navigate life's challenges. I create a safe, supportive space for exploring feelings and setting actionable goals. If you seek understanding and support in your mental health journey, I’m here to help you thrive.
I know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but it's an incredibly brave step toward healing. Together, we can create a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your feelings and begin to heal. If you're ready to take that step, I warmly invite you to check our my calendar on Headway.

I work with clients who may be struggling with their mental health or substance use disorders. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
