Hello!
In all my years in the helping profession, I’ve learned the very best thing about life is this: at any point and no matter how far you've gone down the wrong path, you can decide to turn around and go the other way. Often times however, figuring out how you got there and how to make the changes necessary to improve your life are unclear and complicated. Whether your issues are related to hopelessness, toxic relationships, maladaptive behaviors, ineffective communication, or an inability to cope with stress, having someone to talk to may be invaluable. I've had many years of both life and clinical experience that help me be a better therapist to you! I won't sit and nod my head, but will instead offer you two things for each session; a challenge for your current way of thinking and homework to keep you learning between sessions. Don't be afraid to try! It just may be the best move you make your whole life.
My Style
Most of my patients describe sessions with me as "effective." Yes, I'll sit and listen, empathize, and you'll know I genuinely care about you and your life. But you'll also probably hear things from me that others may not be willing to tell you. Why? Because I want to see you live the life you are capable of and unlocking many of those interactions helps with that process! I generally use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. They are both great types of therapy that focus on behavioral strategies for change after examination of your thinking.
​
I specialize in treating highly suicidal youth, stress/burnout, grief, anxiety, and depression, although I also enjoy working with relationship and blended family issues. My passion is seeing you get better and live a more productive life through examination of your thoughts and behaviors. Scheduling with me is easy!

Contact
I'm currently accepting new patients, for both in-person and telehealth sessions. It's much easier to text me than to email or call. I look forward to hearing from you and starting the journey!
