Do you often feel overwhelmed with life? Or do you feel that something from your past is keeping you stuck? I can help with anxiety, depression, past trauma, negative self talk, relationship issues and more. I have found great success with walking along side the people I work with to help them move from where they are to where they want to be…wherever that might be! I’m nonjudgmental and accepting of all walks of life- LGBTQIA+ individuals are welcome. I didn’t get into therapy to “fix” people, I use my practice to guide and help find new ways of doing or looking at things. I love being able to track the progress my clients make when they utilize the skills we’ve talked about in session. I use a mix of Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for most cases. For those suffering from PTSD, I use my Certified Clinical Trauma Professional training which includes somatic (body) work along with narrative work, all of which is grounded in the neuroscience of trauma. I’m not overly concerned with labels and diagnoses, I’m just here to help you make changes to function and feel better day to day. If you think my approach sounds like it would help you, please reach out and we can schedule our first session to determine if we’ll be a good fit to work together moving forward. I genuinely can’t wait to meet you.

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

During the first session, I will be completing in intake assessment where I will ask a lot of questions to get to know you and how I can help. From there, we will decide on a path for treatment and our goals. Toward the end, I will tell you what I'm thinking as far as a diagnosis and where I see our treatment going. You will always have full and complete control, this is your therapy so I want to ensure you get what you need out of our time together. My hope is that after the first session you will leave feeling hopeful that we can create change and help you feel better.

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

My biggest strengths would be helping those with anxiety, trauma and depression. I have a good list of coping skills to get you feeling better day to day. Once you're functioning more normally, we can look at what deeper issues there are and how to address them. There are several ways I like to process trauma and picking the best direction depends entirely on what you're most comfortable. I am not taking on any couples as clients currently.
