About

Have you noticed spiraling thoughts, irritable mood, or trouble in relationships? Do mundane tasks feel exhausting? Do you have goals you want to accomplish, but feel you are hitting a wall? When managing life's challenges, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and lost. Whether you're a child, teenager or adult, I am here to support you and address the obstacles that are standing in your way.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, gain insight, and develop coping skills. My approach is a laid-back style that addresses your goals and draws from various techniques such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based practices.

Recognizing the need for support and taking the first step is a brave decision, and together, we can determine the best approach. If you're ready to embark on a journey of growth and healing, please reach out. I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your goals and assess how I can assist.
