Introduction

I understand how challenging it can be to navigate through feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and negative self-talk. These emotions can feel overwhelming, leaving you trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and frustration. I specialize in helping individuals who struggle with negative thought patterns, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy. Whether it’s the constant inner critic telling you you're not good enough or the weight of depression making it hard to see a way forward. In our work together, I aim to help you develop a deep sense of self-worth, to challenge the beliefs that no longer serve you. I specialize in helping individuals who are navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, negative self-talk, and depression. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). We’ll work together to break the cycle of negative self-talk, explore how your thoughts influence your emotions and behaviors. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and supported—without judgment or expectation. We’ll work together to help you break free from the mental patterns that are holding you back, and I’ll provide you with the tools you need to build emotional resilience, self-worth, and a sense of peace.
