If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, sexual assault, body image, grief, bullying, trauma, or domestic abuse, you might need a safe space to share, to cry, to laugh, to heal, and to learn healthy strategies for coping with life’s challenges. I use a variety of cognitive-behavioral techniques, as well as humility, non-judgment, compassion, humor, and neuro-education as therapeutic tools for helping teens and adults to build a greater sense of self-awareness, trust, acceptance, confidence, and well-being in living their best life.

When life gets too heavy, it can seem like no amount of support will help. But, that's exactly when the right kind of help can make the difference.

While working with me, you'll have a supportive and safe environment to share your stories and your experiences in a supportive, non-judgmental space. I have extensive experience working with children and adults, including military families and families with extraordinary children diagnosed with autism.

I am interested in clients who are seeking self-improvement in a group therapy setting. Psychotherapy groups are particularly helpful in their ability to provide emotional support and validation and to learn about yourself in a social environment. There are few spaces where we are able to be authentic with others as we work to improve our emotional health. Group therapy techniques depend on the group and among others will include behavioral, cognitive, mindfulness, family systems and psychodynamic approaches. Group Descriptions Below:

Therapy benefits people in times of acute struggle as well as with the stressors of daily life. It supports those looking to set and reach goals, enhance their current situation, and create positive transformation in their lives. Therapy can help identify what the life we want looks like, ways we can grow, and how we can remove or manage roadblocks that may stand in the way of reaching our full potential. As a therapist I strive to create safe space where we are able to explore the difficulties as well as the joys of life and build on the potential that each of us holds.

I believe that beneath every symptom that creates our suffering is a wise, healthy, and whole Self yearning to break free of old shackles and guide us home to the person we are meant to be. In this way, I help clients to reconceptualize their issues as road signs that are guiding them on their path of healing; just the same way that physical symptoms like a fever or ache directs us to an ailment that needs addressing, so too do psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, or addictions, point to a deeper underlying wound that is calling to be healed. Our goal is to not simply survive, but thrive.
