Therapy is cool! Let me tell you why. I know that sometimes life can seem like a constant struggle and that change is hard. However, feeling happy and fulfilled IS possible and it is what we all deserve. I understand that beginning the (therapy) process can be overwhelming. I can help you get the ball rolling and guide you into a life that you are excited to live. Every therapist is different and it is important to find one that aligns with your individual personality and style. Let's see if I am a match!
I am a very curious therapist. I ask a lot of questions and listen attentively. I have a very authentic, causal approach and use humor appropriately with my clients. I am easy going and nonjudgmental. I have been told by my colleagues, friends, and clients that I am very engaging, forthright, positive, and easy to talk and open up to.
Struggling sucks! Let's get through obstacles and negative thought patterns together. Whether you suffer from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or just simply feel unhappy and unhealthy, I am here to help. I specialize in addiction, eating disorders, family-related troubles, as well as over-stimulation and sensory issues. I am ready whenever you are!
