Are you feeling overwhelmed by the weight of your emotions? Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of pain and struggle, unsure of how to break free? It's okay to admit that life can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. In fact, acknowledging the challenges you're facing is the first step towards healing and growth. I specialize in providing compassionate support to individuals who are grappling with the complexities of their inner world. Whether you're wrestling with past traumas, navigating difficult relationships, or feeling lost in the midst of life transitions, therapy can offer a safe space for exploration and healing.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in patterns of thought and behavior that no longer serve them. They may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns that make it difficult to fully engage with life. Others may be grappling with existential questions about the meaning and purpose of their existence.
I understand that reaching out for help can be intimidating, but I want to assure you that you are worthy of support and healing. By taking this courageous step towards self-discovery, you're already demonstrating a commitment to your own well-being. I invite you to embark on this journey of self-exploration and growth, and I'll be here to support you.

Meeting with new clients, I use the DBT approach which suggests that we make sure someone has the skills they need to do all the other work in therapy. Through assessment and training, I help personalize the DBT skills using mindfulness and practical application. Once skills are being utilized consistently and effectively, we move on to difficult topics like trauma and/or grief to find healing.

I often use a mix of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR for clients that need it. My favorite moments providing therapy are times where a client can finally see clearly core beliefs that have been developed over a lifetime, and I love helping them learn from their life experience to produce wanted change.
