My Approach to Therapy
Are you struggling with anxiety, critical self-talk, bad habits, or relationship problems? Are you repeating the same negative behaviors, knowing they're not working, but not knowing how to stop? People can make changes to their lives, but it can feel so overwhelming, impossible, and hopeless to face problems alone. You don't have to be alone. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides individual therapy to adults. I supply a safe, caring, nonjudgmental space so that you can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that lead to that feeling of being stuck or that thought of not knowing what to do next instead.
You want to be able to actually go through the day calm, cool, and collected. Imagine feeling confident, in control, and in charge of your life. You want to enjoy your friends and family. You want to enjoy the work you do. I can help you get there!

How Psychotherapy Can Help
When you're feeling alone or stuck, it can be something as little as someone else saying, "Me, too," or "Right?" to make you feel hopeful. Psychotherapy is connection. It's support. We're social beings designed to connect with one another. And, it is so hard to be a human being on planet Earth right now. So, psychotherapy can be a safe base for you to say whatever you want and to connect with someone else who can help you see things from a different perspective.
What Makes up a Problem?
A problem can range in size from "big" to "small." Regardless of the size, if a situation or person is making you feel badly, then this is a problem. You don't want to compare your problems to those of another. If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck, then that is enough reason to seek support!
