There are certain transition points in life: moments when you identify a shift in your inner dialogue, or you recognize a need for lasting change, or you decide it’s time to choose which of your life experiences should be footnotes and which should be part of your greater narrative.
I believe these are moments of opportunity—and together, we can use the discomfort caused by life changes, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or other stressors to navigate the next portion of your life journey in a brave, healthy direction.
Using motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and the choices that follow, I will work with you to embrace your true self and create a life that is authentic and emotionally fulfilling.
My 14 years of experience as a licensed clinical psychologist in both public and private practice, paired with my time as a C-suite executive for a regional nonprofit university, provide me with a unique ability to help you make meaningful changes with short-term treatment.
Together, we will build healthy spaces in your mind by examining how your self-talk influences your experience of the world around you, unchecking the boxes others have assigned to you, and pressing start on a new, stronger version of yourself.
