Introduction

I’m glad you’re here. Taking the step to explore therapy is an excellent investment in yourself- one that can truly add to your quality of life. Let me walk with you a little...perhaps remind you of ways to slow down, loosen, and and find clarity and purpose- again or for the first time. I use evidence‑based and person‑centered approaches, mindfulness and guided imagery to help you improve your quality of life. Whether you’re managing anxiety, trauma, or major life changes, hope is valuable. Together we’ll work toward improving your mind and body wellness, increasing confidence and your sense self worth . I offer individual therapy using structured and eclectic approaches including: - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Substance Use counseling and education -Insomnia Treatment -Hypnotherapy for smoking, weight, anxiety, habit control and more We all feel overwhelmed sometimes. You may be haunted by painful memories or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Even “solutions” can become problems. Let’s take a look together—with another set of eyes—and explore what truly works for you. You’re not alone. We’re in this together.
