Seeking and engaging in therapy can be a daunting task for most people. Many of us invalidate our problems and fault ourselves for not fixing them or feeling better immediately, yet we are lost in the distress of our issues and symptoms. If this is the case, then I commend you for seeking support! I believe in talk therapy because it provides you the space to find needed perspective on your life, and from there, you can take actionable and brave steps towards healing. My goal as a therapist is to provide you that space, understand your life and the issues that brought you here. Just like taking care of your body, taking care of your mind is important enough to seek treatment. My experience includes providing care for individuals with depression & anxiety, trauma, emotional distress and impulsivity, grief, and substance use. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am also trained in 12-step and Mindfulness treatment. I work with adults of many age ranges, from college students to older adults working to navigate life. I believe authenticity and collaboration is important in a truly therapeutic relationship, and the goal of the relationship we create is to help you move towards an authentic and fulfilling life.
