Do you find yourself constantly worrying or overthinking every possible outcome? Do you feel like you must prepare for the worst just to feel in control? Maybe you struggle with uncertainty, fear making the wrong decision, or feel like everything has to be done perfectly. Anxiety can leave you feeling restless, exhausted, and stuck in patterns that affect your sleep, your relationships, and your peace of mind. Life transitions often bring us into what can feel like “stormy waters.” As Viktor Frankl wrote, “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” I specialize in helping those suffering from anxiety, including health care professionals and veterans. You don't have to continue suffering. As a seasoned therapist, I can help you feel empowered to stop the cycle of worry and anxiety, find your sense of purpose, and reclaim your life. The good news is that we've all gone through seasons of our lives when we feel this way. The first step is to reach out to someone for help. My approach is straightforward: together we will identify your goals, establish a problem-solving treatment plan, and go from there. If something is telling you it's time to begin your journey; give me a call.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, go over some information regarding confidentiality, and then dive into the specific challenges that brought you to counseling. Then we will collaborate to develop a realistic treatment plan that will identify your specific achievable goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My biggest strength is helping clients free themselves of unmanageable anxiety and become empowered to start enjoying life again.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Together we will identify thoughts that encourage anxiety or depression, challenge the accuracy of those thoughts, and begin to reframe those thoughts into more accurate ones.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is evidence based especially for those with anxiety, agoraphobia, OCD, panic disorder, and phobias.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Coming from a strength-based perspective, together, we focus on solutions, not problems. I view the client as the "expert" regarding their own life. Together we construct a desired future and identify small, achievable steps toward it.
