Overwhelming worry and stress seem to follow you everywhere. You struggle to maintain focus, make decisions, and let go of things. Constant overthinking depletes your energy, leaving you irritable, restless, and on edge. The more this persists, the more dejected and hopeless you feel about it ever changing. You have tried coping on your own, but solutions that used to work no longer seem to help. You dream of a happier life – free from worry, present in the moment, and optimistic about the future – and wonder if it is possible. I know what these struggles are like, and I can help you restore hope in yourself. Together, we will discover new solutions for coping with stressors while we work to resolve their underlying causes. You will begin putting your worries into perspective, prioritizing what is important and letting go of what you cannot control. You will regain a sense of hope, happiness, and peace, allowing you to rest assured that everything will be okay. Nearly 25 years of providing specialized, effective therapy has equipped me to successfully get your life back on track. I offer a comfortable and peaceful private practice environment, a safe space where you can rediscover feeling calmly focused on what matters most.

"I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. In your initial sessions, we'll explore what brought you into therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better."
