Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based on the east coast and licensed in 9 states. I've worked with virtually all populations, but have a passion for supporting young adults in their mission to overcome over thinking and minimize anxiety. I also love to provide hope and guidance to anyone working through a tough transition. Life's stressors can be minimized!
During our first session we'll cover some basic information, you will have the opportunity to share absolutely anything you would like to share, and ask any questions you may have. Then we will identify your top 1-2 current challenges.
Clients find me to be respectful, non-judgmental, appropriately funny, incredibly empathetic and understanding, and occasionally maddening. When clients say, "I never thought about it that way" (which happens often), I know they are benefitting from the therapy process.
I love working with young adults who are still in school, starting a career, and/or starting a family. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious, even though life may look good on the outside. I also work with many clients experiencing transitions. Change is stressful, even when it's positive.

Over thinking can be paralyzing. And more often than not, those excessive thoughts are not positive. CBT provides great strategies for identifying negative thoughts, introducing more helpful positive replacements, and even learning ways to avoid the negative thinking all together.
In therapy, the client guides the process. As a counselor, I provide the safe, non-judgmental, unconditional care for clients to just "be." This safe space provides endless opportunities for clients to resolve challenges and identify their strengths.
I love helping clients identify and nurture their super powers. Often our biggest challenges become our greatest strengths.
