I offer a supportive space to unpack everyday stress and build healthier ways of coping because mental health is just part of being human. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reframe unhelpful thought patterns and strengths-based practice to recognize the invisible strengths my clients have a hard time seeing when life is throwing them challenge after challenge. Therapy with me is both reflective and action-oriented; you’ll gain insight, but you’ll also leave with tools.Next available:Mon Oct 12 @ 1PM
