Great to meet you!

Aligned Counseling & Therapy is for those who are tired of repeating patterns that no longer give them the life or relationships they want. Maybe you overthink conversations, worry about how others see you, struggle to say no, find yourself in relationships that leave you disappointed, or keep having the same argument with your partner or family. Maybe your motivation isn't what it used to be, you don't enjoy the things you used to, or life's changing, or work, school, or everyday life feel overwhelming. Together, we connect the dots to figure out what's not in alignment, and develop tools to help you move toward the life you want.

My approach to therapy

Our therapists are warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. We pair deep exploration with practical strategies to help you understand what's keeping you out of alignment. Together, we'll build tools to manage anxiety, set healthier boundaries, communicate more effectively, regulate difficult emotions, and respond differently when old patterns resurface.

What you can expect from me

I seek to leave each client that I work with, with Practical Tools and Strategies, Increased Self-Awareness, Coping Skills for Managing Difficult Emotions, Improved Communication and Relationship Skills, A Personalized Roadmap for Progress.

My goal is for you to feel empowered and in control of your mental health. Through our work together, you'll build the confidence to make informed decisions, try new approaches, and feel more capable of managing life's challenges.
