When feeling anxious, individuals tend to want to find coping skills to NOT feel this way. I beleive that every feeling we have is here to tell us something about our experience. Understanding what anxiety is trying to tell you and what you are needing when you are anxious will empower you.

Relationships are special because they are often the only places we have some power to negotiate. Understanding our own needs and our partner's needs, makes communication much more successful. It becomes more difficult to be upset witha partner when you are speaking from a place of "I need this" and this is the way I have tried to do it. Having the understanding of their need, leaves room for the couple to negotatiate healthier behaviors to get those needs met while also having compassion.

If you struggle with self-worth, perfectionism, or feeling “not good enough,” you’re not alone. Together, we can explore the roots of these patterns and build a healthier, more compassionate view of yourself. My goal is to help you develop confidence and resilience so you can move forward with greater ease and authenticity.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety and trauma responses. CBT offers practical skills to manage worry, panic, and intrusive thoughts, while also supporting you in safely processing difficult experiences. Together, we’ll work to build healthier coping strategies and restore a greater sense of calm and confidence in your life.

Utilizing NVC to help clients identify their needs on a deeper level. Since most of the things we do are about trying to get our needs met, being able to identify and communicate those needs can change your view of yourself. Whether you are doing individual therapy or couple's counseling, this results in a higher level of self-compassion and awareness. With that being said, healing starts with getting comfortable wit

I take a personalized approach to therapy, using CBT, NVC, EMDR and Person-Centered to have treatment meet your unique experiences and goals. I focus on helping you understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical coping skills. Together, we'll explore past patterns and current challenges to foster healing, self-awareness, and lasting growth. I am here to support you!
