“Are you looking for someone who can be empathetic, understanding, attentive and non judgmental? I can offer the support and encouragement needed to achieve autonomy in your life by helping you gain more compassion and confidence in yourself. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to help you identify unhelpful thinking patterns that can affect your every day life, mindfulness to increase self awareness along with other evidenced based modalities.

My goal within sessions is to establish a safe and healthy therapeutic relationship with the intent for you to gain a better understanding of yourself and the struggles you may be facing. I have experience working with adults and teens who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety and bipolar disorder. With a greater self understanding and a new perspective, you can reach your goals and grow beyond your circumstances. “
