Professional statement

Hi there and welcome! Let's work together on any challenges you are facing and come up with a plan to relieve any anxiety, stress, and/or depression. Life transitions can be hard, but together we can work through any obstacles you may be facing. With over 25 years experience, along with CBT, DBT, and trauma therapy, we will formulate goals that are individualized. I have a warm collaborative approach when working with individuals and I believe that life coaching is essential in the therapy process. Your recovery and mental health is important to me and I'm committed in helping you find the peace and calmness in your life.


Message to clients

I'm so glad you took this step! Making your mental health a priority is essential to your wellbeing and I'm here to help you on this journey. With a warm, positive, collaborative approach, I'm here to help you find hope, peace, and calmness.
