Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to get past symptoms of anxiety, depression or past trauma? It's common to experience mental health-related challenges in life and to get stuck at times. We're not born with a built-in understanding of how to be psychologically healthy, so sometimes it's a good idea to get a little guidance from an unbiased professional. My ideal client is motivated to understand themselves better and to make the necessary adjustments to improve their quality of life.

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

During our initial sessions, we will work to identify the nature of the problem(s), which will then be utilized to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps to increase the enjoyment and meaning in your life.

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

I offer individual therapy and have specialty training in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for depression. I have spent the majority of my career in an outpatient hospital setting and have expertise treating a wide range of presenting concerns, including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief.
