Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily obligations? Do you find yourself having difficulty focusing? Maybe you find yourself thinking you’re not good enough or feel like an imposter. I know exactly what you’re feeling: the feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating, and I don’t want you to have to suffer anymore. Reframing thinking patterns can significantly reduce anxiety, and I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back. We’ll start by untangling your thoughts and feelings so you can gain clarity. By practicing acceptance, you can focus on taking actionable steps that move you towards your goals that align with your values. You'll develop effective coping strategies and thus gain resilience so you are better able to manage your stress no matter what comes your way. Life brings many challenges so your feelings are valid. I will actively listen to your needs and create a safe and supportive environment for you to freely share your concerns. I am here to provide guidance, support, and understanding. I hope to meet with you so we can work together placing you on the path towards mental wellness.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I will ask you to tell me about yourself. I will ask you about the frequency, intensity, duration, and history of your symptoms as well as more information on the current issues that brought you to therapy and its effects on various areas of your life. I will ask you about your strengths and your goals for therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I believe my biggest strength as a therapist is facilitating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment for clients to feel comfortable enough to freely express themselves and discuss difficult topics.
