Great to meet you!

Life is not easy... it is full of ups, downs, twists & turns. It can feel like a roller coaster that you cannot wait to get off of. Therapy can be the answer to getting support through these uncontrollably tough moments. This is your life and while you will always be the expert on you, let me help relieve some of the burdens you've been carrying so you can learn important tools to get back to the person you want to be. Together we can help you regain lost control and begin again. Why wait?

My approach to therapy

I strive to meet clients exactly where they are. Hesitant and unsure about therapy but willing to give it a shot? Sounds good. Ready to jump in head first, let's go! Either way, I am right here with you.

What you can expect from me

I am a client centered CBT therapist whose primary focus is helping you help yourself. I want you to feel heard, understood and walk away from our work together feeling empowered to begin managing life instead of feeling controlled by it.
