I am passionate about mental health! I believe mental health is an integral part of a person’s overall well-being. Many people put their mental health on the “back burner” so to speak, thinking that it may be passing or not as important as other “health” issues. It is important. It helps us balance everyday issues and is an essential part of decision making. Everyone feels anxious, angry, or sad, some have bigger mental health issues. If you find your symptoms are disrupting your function of everyday life, I can help.

With life ever changing, managing a new diagnosis, routine, family dynamic or structure, or employment status can become the biggest obstacle. I strive to assist with processing the issue, creating problem-solving and coping skills, and preparing for upcoming changes. I am a non-judgmental, supportive, and collaborative therapist to cheer you on in your victories and be your helping hand during distress, all with the goal to create a happier and healthier you!

As an executive, you know life at the top can be deeply rewarding. And profoundly challenging. Business – especially at the top – is stressful. There’s never enough time. The choice seems to be 1) succeed at work or 2) succeed at home. Pick one. It feels lonely at work, but just as lonely at home. You’re distracted or even consumed with worry. Angry outbursts can happen. Loved ones may say you’re distant and not “present”. With concerns about cash flow, sales, employees, customers, competitors, the economy, partners and investors, worry is an under-statement. Sometimes, you wonder how long you can keep doing this.

Asking for help is not easy for many of us. Reaching out to a therapist can feel like admitting defeat. I believe, however, that it can be one of the bravest things you can do! Whatever difficulty you are walking through, whether it be grief, trauma, shame or guilt you are worth the time and effort of walking towards peace and healing. If you feel weighed down with life and would like help processing and moving forward, I would like to help.

Anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions can be incredibly overwhelming and debilitating. The constant battle with negative thoughts, intense emotions, and physical symptoms can make it difficult to function daily. As a therapist, I understand the weight that these conditions can carry and the toll they take on one's well-being. That is why I am dedicated to providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to come and share their feelings with me. I want my clients to know that they are not alone in their struggles and that I am here to support them every step of the way.

Are you looking for a safe place where you can be heard? Do you feel anxiety and depression are keeping you from living your fullest life? Is your relationship or marriage falling apart?

You will find an accepting environment based on honesty and respect where you can learn how to overcome and work through issues that may be causing you emotional discomfort and distress.

Real change comes from the work we do within ourselves. I truly believe you have the answers you are seeking within yourself, but may need help to find them. The work we will be doing together is important, and I want you to have the utmost confidence and trust in the therapeutic relationship we build. In our sessions, I like to take a positive approach to build that working relationship to set useful and attainable goals towards a mentally healthy lifestyle. By utilizing motivational interviewing, interpersonal therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy strategies, I know we can make progress towards that final goal.

Do you feel that there is something that is holding you back from living the life you want to live?

I can offer you a space where you will feel comfortable and can find relief from the heaviness of everyday life.

Are you struggling with food or your body? The people I work with typically struggle with symptoms like binge eating, overeating, irregular eating patterns, or poor body image. I help people find relief from eating disorders. Often, I hear people express how their eating patterns have impaired their relationships, mood, and daily activities. They may be experiencing mood or anxiety-related issues, in addition, to their food struggles. Most people I work with say that their work with me is their first time conceptualizing their concerns as a mental health issue and are seeking treatment for the first time.

Going to a counselor can be pretty frightening; my goal is to make it as comfortable as possible. I believe that we all need help at times to work through difficult issues in our lives. I count it a privilege to help clients with the stresses of life. Beginning therapy can be a big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible-no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviors and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and more.

I enjoy working with individuals with eating disorders, self - esteem issues, trauma history, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I also work with a lot of clients with family issues and enjoy clients of all ages and backgrounds.

Stress and anxiety can be a part of life. However, sometimes a person will find themselves drowning in feelings of loneliness, hopelessness and fear. Sometimes these feelings and thoughts become are so overwhelming that people literally feel held hostage by despair. People become paralyzed with fear unable to make a decision because of self-doubt. People lose the will to face the day stop taking care of themselves. My typical clients range from teenagers to adults with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management issues, ADHD, PTSD, codependency, poor stress management or coping and other various mental health conditions.

I see clients for individual therapy and psychological evaluations. My approach is individualized and based on my clients' needs, personal background, and goals. My therapy approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, & existential modalities, adapted specifically for my clients. I also incorporate positive psychology elements by being person-centered, non-judgmental, & utilizing strengths in developing goals & a plan for treatment. My clients can expect to gain insight into the nature of their difficulties, with an individualized plan for progress and improved functioning.

As the parent of a child/teen that struggles with their wounded selves, you have tried everything. The exhaustive interventions that you have tried are going nowhere fast. Throwing in the towel is all that you have left. Your marriage is more daunting than it is invigorating and you keep hitting a wall with connecting to one another. Depression has you stuck in quicksand and the struggle is consuming you. Anxiety has its grip on you and it is controlling your life. You find yourself asking what more can you do? You feel all alone in your struggles and are having more moments of frustration than joy. Asking for help is hard.

You may be here feeling lost, seeking help to address concerns that affect your or your child’s well- being. This could include managing daily stress, navigating past experiences, or alleviating worries about the future. I am here to support children, teens, adults, couples, and parents in overcoming whatever obstacles you may be facing.
