Do you treat yourself poorly when you make a mistake or experience failure? Do you often notice that you have self-critical thoughts and beliefs? Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions understand their feelings better and how to control their impulses.

My counseling style is direct and interactive. I believe in helping people work through the areas they feel most stuck. I also believe that as humans we are extremely strong and have the ability to overcome even the worst life circumstances to fully become who we were meant to be.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
