I specialize in working with adolescents and adults ages 12+ who deal with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA issues, insomnia, sexual intimacy and other relationship issues through individual, couples, and hypnotherapy counseling. My main goal is to provide a judgment-free zone where everyone can feel comfortable being themself.
I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples in a variety of settings throughout my career. I draw from a variety of treatment modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), talk therapy, supportive therapy, and heart-centered hypnotherapy.
I know that it can be difficult to take the first step toward improving your mental health, and I would love to be the person who helps you take that step toward your path to healing.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, trauma, or sexual identity concerns. 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 four to six weeks and sustained improvement thereafter.

My primary treatment modalities are CBT and EMDR. At your first session, we will discuss what treatment approach is the best for your needs. I am an advanced certified hypnotherapist through the Wellness Institute, and I can do hypnotherapy virtually if that is something you would be interested in. Your sessions will focus on ways to change your thinking and behaviors through skills building.
