About me
I am an experienced therapist with over 17 years of experience in the field. I am dedicated to helping all ages and backgrounds learn to cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use recovery, and stress.
Mental health is important, and it can be scary to reach out when you need support. Mental health comes in many forms: sadness, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, trauma. Any of those can become overwhelming. I offer a safe and confidential space to share your thoughts and emotions while we work together to navigate what life has thrown at you. My goal is to help you reach your goals and say, "I think I can take it from here."
I offer an eclectic approach, meaning I will tailor my approach based off your needs. I have experience in Cognitive Behavioral, Trauma-Informed, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy approaches. I have specialties in dual existing mental health and substance use, trauma, all ranges of mental health conditions, and all age groups.
I know this is scary and uncomfortable. I truly do not take it lightly that you are reading profiles and considering seeing a therapist. If you have questions or would like to have a brief conversation with me, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to talk more with you. Thank you for taking time for your mental health.
