Great to meet you!

Do you feel like you are struggling and want to learn some healthy coping skills, improve communication, process trauma, grief, improve parenting skills or learn strategies to manage anxiety or depression? Are you overwhelmed with the demands of life? I have 26 years of experience supporting people of all ages. Therapy can help you gain insight, inspire and motivate you and provide tools to manage symptoms and solve problems. If you are ready to live your best life, consider reaching out to me.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide practical tools and support. I'm a Certified Trauma Professional and the Owner of Best Life Therapy, LLC. I specialize in trauma, grief, parenting skills, anxiety, depression, behavior and relationship challenges. During your first session, we will explore your history, complete assessments and work together on your goals. I employ cognitive, supportive, insight-oriented therapy and more. I provide a safe and supportive space to help clients reach their full potential.

What you can expect from our first session

Together, we will work on what you need. This may include learning more about your diagnosis, developing healthy coping skills, processing emotions and thought patterns, reframing negative thoughts, developing communication techniques and establishing boundaries. I emphasize gratitude practices, teach mindfulness and other relaxation techniques. I strive to help clients develop a positive mindset while teaching them to focus on the things they can control rather than the things they cannot.
