Great to meet you!

Are you currently feeling stressed, overwhelmed and just feeling like you are unable to find a sense balance in your life? I focus on helping you develop skills and strategies to help you manage life's stressors, anxiety, depression, and other related issues. My goal is to provide you with holistic therapeutic services from counseling to coaching services in a safe and non judgmental space where you can live a healthy and fulfilling life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with you based on your needs and meet you where you are. I incorporate mindfulness, cognitive behavioral techniques, and traditional talk therapy into my approach. I make it a point to see what approach you feel will work best for you and work from there.

What you can expect from our first session

We will start by evaluating your strengths and what is working in your life and then focus on the areas that you would like to improve.

During our work together we will focus on the how our thinking patterns can lead to our emotions/feelings and the impact on how we behave.

I will offer you step-by-step instructions on how to decrease stress in your life. We will practice these steps in so it will be easier to apply them in real life when needed.
