I work with individuals ages 22-37 who are struggling with racing thoughts, anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, and life transitions. I also help those struggling with prior trauma and PTSD. I help clients disentangle their thoughts, learn to cope with their stressors, improve their self-esteem, and make life transitions. Our work will teach you new coping skills, change your ways of thinking and relating to others, and resolve any past traumatic experiences that might be leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or less connected to yourself or others.
My work combines a variety of therapeutic modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and The Gottman Method. I have experience and training working with anxiety, depression, panic, and trauma, as well as, identity, relationship, family conflict, and attachment issues.
Starting your therapeutic journey can feel vulnerable and difficult! I aim to create a space for safety and vulnerability so we can work collaboratively to help you achieve your goals. I’d love to connect and discuss what you’re looking for! Send an email to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
