THERAPY
Mental wellness is vital to living a balanced and happy life. Often times the things throwing us off such as nervousness, substance use, argument, and overwhelm (among others) have reasons for being there. During therapy we use evidence-based strategies to help you reconcile those reasons and bring you to center.
I specialize in working with:
Young Adults
LGBTQ+ Folx
Adults
Couples
Most often I use experimental methods tailored to your needs often based in third wave behavioral therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy that include Mindfulness, Behavioral Activation, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Additionally, I offer Mind Body Hypnotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction Psychotherapy.
I believe that it is important to find a therapist that is the right fit. I offer individual, group, couples, and family therapy focused on helping you move through life transitions, build strong relationships with yourself and others, and get free of the patterns that are blocking you from living the life you want. Below I have identified some common problems that I love to help with!

You are nervous or anxious.
You experience stomach pains and a tight chest.
You struggle with decision making.
Your thoughts make you feel worthless or unlovable.

You feel like a burden.
You are not alone! A life where your mind is not running the show is possible. Together we can use evidence-based strategies to help you become grounded in your brilliance. Experiencing the waves without being washed away by the swell.

Addiction is a beast. Whether it be nicotine, video games, alcohol, shopping, over exercise, or overeating, each addiction has it's own set of challenges. Luckily, there is a way out into a healthier life. Whether you want to stop completely or moderate and reduce harm, I offer evidence-based strategies to help you live the life you want.

Another name that I like for therapists are change agents. I am here to work in the realm of change and growth, helping you walk through this time and giving you new tools to manage and have a new experience with change!
