*Accepting new clients for immediate booking* Life can be hard. Sometimes we find ourselves asking how we got here and sometimes it's hard to know where to start. We just know something doesn't feel right and these feelings can consume and overwhelm us. Perhaps you're experiencing some setbacks or challenges that you're finding difficult to cope with like anxiety, depression, loss, relationship issues, family conflict, or maybe you're just feeling really stuck. It's difficult to put into words how we feel when we don't understand what's really going on in our heads. If it feels like things are falling apart and you're feeling lost or overwhelmed or unable to cope alone, allow me to support you in finding your way back to feeling like you again.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Psychoeducational Therapy Provides education and coping tools about mental health conditions. It empowers clients with knowledge and practical skills.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: My approach is collaborative and strength-based. I provide a supportive, understanding, and calm space where we can focus on you and your unique situation. We will build a connection from day one so you can begin to untangle and make sense of all the thoughts and feelings you're having that are causing you pain. Together we will work towards understanding your past and present experiences, how they affect you, and equip you with new strategies and solutions to obtain clarity and help you regain the happiness you deserve. I want you to leave sessions feeling empowered and ready to tackle new challenges with strength and renewed confidence. I want you to feel like you again.
