Do you feel anxious or depressed? Is this affecting your relationships and overall happiness? Anxiety and depression can be displayed in many ways but are some of the most common issues faced by people today. Therapy can help break the cycle of stress and aid in developing the necessary tools to combat life stressors. I have specific training in treating grief, anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship issues, and behavioral disorders. If you do not see a time that fits your schedule please contact me to see if I can open my availability.

I have 10 years using the DBT modality. DBT is a way to be present, to live in the present moment. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a modified type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

One of the first modalities I learned as a social worker was to lean on a person's strengths to build up their weakness.
I have two years of experience dealing with individuals who wanted gender-affirming surgery. I also have a family member who has had gender assignment surgery therefore I have a vast knowledge of a person's mental woes while transitioning.
If I was an author, my first book would be on Grief therapy. I have first-hand knowledge of how grief affects one's everyday life. I lost my mother in 2003 and I was overcome with grief. I felt like a walking zombie not knowing how I got to different places, not remembering taking a left or right turn. I can help you cope with your grief feelings.
