Life is full of ups and downs, and if you’re here, you might be trying to find some stability. I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to make it as comfortable as possible. I offer a safe, welcoming space to explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Having faced similar challenges myself, I'm passionate about helping others manage anxiety, navigate the cycles of worry and fear, heal from the pain of breakups, and improve relationships or dating experiences. I truly believe that with the right support, you can find peace and live a fulfilling life. I tailor my approach to fit your needs, using proven methods like mindfulness and cognitive strategies. I am also trained in Brainspotting—a unique technique that helps target and release emotional stress in a way that feels natural and intuitive. I love to see my clients build confidence in themselves and begin to make meaningful changes in their lives. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I’d be honored to be a part of your journey! For more information about me and my services, visit www.alightermind.com. Currently, I have daytime availability, as my evenings are fully booked. If you request a session, I may need to adjust our appointment time due to calendar syncing issues with Grow’s system. Thank you for your understanding!
In our first session, I will want to get a better idea of what brings you to therapy. I will also ask you some background history questions to get more context on your past and present. I also use the first session to briefly discuss what some of your goals are for therapy. If you're not sure yet, we will come up with something together! Therapy is a collaborative process from the very start.
I genuinely enjoy working with clients on communication with themselves and with others. This is a skill that is beneficial to most, if not all, areas we can cover in therapy.
I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety and stress, improve relationships, and enhance communication skills.

Through the use of CBT, I assist you in making connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and using those connections to better understand yourself and then use that knowledge to make meaningful changes in your life.
