Are you struggling with life's daily challenges? Do you feel inadequate and can't measure up, no matter how hard you try? Are you having difficulty coping with a recent loss?

I'm here to help you gain the tools needed to manage daily life more effectively so you can live a happier, more satisfying & fulfilling life. I specialize in working with adult individuals who are looking to find relief from the symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, negative relationships, grief, & trauma.

Sometimes the way you relate to yourself and others no longer aligns with who you truly are, your values or how you envisioned your life. You may feel disconnected from yourself and others. You may feel anxious or misunderstood, and start to question your worth or love. To cope, you wear a mask to hide parts of yourself, which creates feelings of tension within yourself and with others. What if you lived your life according to your values while accepting and expressing your genuine self? I create a judgement free, safe therapeutic space where you can explore, understand and find your authentic self.
