Hi there. Admitting you need therapy is not always easy, but it's a courageous step toward prioritizing your mental health and well-being. I value your input and perspective, and I'd like to collaborate with you rather than tell you what to do. Together, we will tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and goals. I make it a priority to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel comfortable openly discussing their concerns without fear of judgment. My practice primarily focuses on assisting clients with mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Many of my clients grapple with daily life stressors and encounter difficulties in connecting with their loved ones. To address these issues, I employ a compassionate yet direct approach, drawing from evidence-based techniques rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I'm genuinely eager to build a strong, trusting partnership with you and delve deeper into your story. Throughout our journey together, I strive to be a supportive guide, helping you navigate towards a more fulfilling and joyful life. Call or email me now to schedule an appointment or free consultation. I hope to hear from you soon.
