Professional statement

Welcome. Life is mental so let's strengthen your mind. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming. If you're experiencing anxiety, lack of sleep, or relationship hurdles, please keep reading. By understanding yourself more deeply, we can work on enhancing your communication, and decision-making skills, to help build resiliency and create positive movement in your life. Your journey towards greater understanding and awareness can start here.

I use a relational approach, working with individuals facing anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy concerns, infidelity, life transitions, grief, and loss. Additionally, I specialize in clinical hypnosis for anxiety and insomnia, helping you cultivate a sense of agency to tap into your inner strength and find new ways to handle everyday challenges.

Let’s work together to help you feel more connected and confident in yourself. This can be a place to start in helping you create more fulfilling connections and relationships with yourself and with others. Please send me an email to set up an appointment. I'm currently accepting new clients—2 spots remaining for October. Private pay FSA & HSA accepted.
