Are you feeling stuck and unsure how to move past the roadblocks in your path? Are you ready to make positive changes in your life and move forward? Whether you or someone you love is struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, relationship conflicts, perfectionism, test anxiety, ADHD, school/ work avoidance, mild substance abuse, chronic illness, or having difficulty adjusting to a new situation, you are not alone. Although things are difficult now, it does not have to be this way forever. I believe everyone has strengths they can build upon to develop resilience and grow as an individual. My goal is to help you be your best self to reach your full potential.

I understand that it is often scary to be vulnerable and share your thoughts and feelings with another person. Sometimes people worry that they will be judged or rejected after they let someone in. In my work with you, I’ll have unconditional positive regard for you; that means I will accept and value you for who you are no matter what you share with me.

I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults. We will work collaboratively to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques. Together, we will set goals to help you work towards overcoming various challenges in your life.
