Living with Anxiety, Depression, Panic or OCD can feel overwhelming. It can make tasks at work feel like it’s all too much to handle. In our personal lives, it can make us feel disconnected from the people we love as well as the activities we used to derive happiness from.

It is possible to feel comfortable or even excited to interact with people, enjoy your work each day and find meaning!

My primary approaches to counseling include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered and Solution Focused Therapy.

I help individuals who are struggling with all the above and work side by side with you to formulate a healthier way to communicate and get to the root of your problems.
