Do you struggle with feeling disconnected? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel better? Happier? Now more than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. It shouldn't be so hard to live a better life. We will start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I help you put a plan in place to move forward, and celebrate successes along the way!

I have experience working with youth, teens, and young adults in various settings. I have worked with foster care children and families, helping to ease transitions and relieve post-traumatic stress symptoms. I use a variety of techniques to improve presenting symptoms and teach healthy coping skills. Helping people live a better life is my passion!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. 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.

In your first session, we will discuss your presenting symptoms, history and treatment goals. This allows me to get to know you, what brings you to counseling and how I can help with those things.
