Great to meet you!

Are you having difficulties with a low mood? Are you having issues with racing thoughts? Is it seemingly impossible for you to turn your mind off? Anxiety and depression are like 2 bad roommates that don't respect your boundaries. Let's put a plan together to kick these two imposters out! No we cannot change our past, but we can place a new frame around it. Let's change the old narrative of yourself, and write a new story! I understand that you have done the best that you can, & that is OK.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Has your mate, told you to get help? Do you have a mate? Does your "mate picker" need calibration? Is it hard for you to express boundaries consistently? My individual relationship program includes a plan to measure your success. Let's write a new autobiography.

What you can expect from our first session

I will teach you proven coping skills that will help you get more out of your relationships with others. I love helping people identify the roadblocks to happiness. I’m not like most therapists. I do NOT sugar coat. If you’re willing to do the work, change will happen. If you need someone to hold you accountable, hit that button NOW!. LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!!
