If you are experiencing anxiety, career or work-related stress, a toxic work environment, relationship issues, low self-confidence, illness, school challenges, layoffs, grief/loss, career transition, or retirement, I can help. Are you finding it difficult to manage your stress, anxiety, sleep, depression or ADHD? I'd be honored to help you deal with your symptoms, feelings, thoughts, and emotions. You deserve to feel better. Advances in therapy now allow for a transformative experience and can help you achieve things for yourself that you may never have thought possible. Get the support you need by contacting me to get started.
My therapeutic orientation is trauma-informed, solution-focused, and strength-based. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), EMDR, DBT, Coherence therapy, and IFS. I help you learn mindfulness, somatic (body) interventions, and other evidence-based therapies. Starting therapy takes courage, but it can be a highly fulfilling and transformative experience.
It's my goal to create a therapeutic environment that feels comfortable, safe, and trusting for my clients. I work with people to address their specific needs and identified goals. I understand that each person's personal journey is unique; therefore, my approach is tailored to fit each individual's specific needs. Reach out if this resonates with you.

I have sought training in a number of different modalities over the years, so I can co-create a treatment regimen with my clients that works for each individual. We can also pivot modalities as needs change through the course of treatment to produce the best results and alleviate distress. Although I help people navigate relationship challenges, unfortunately, I do NOT do couples counseling work.
