Therapy style

Whether you're struggling with stress, worries, or just feeling a bit stuck, I'm here to help you get to a place of balance, calm, and feeling whole. With a background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I've got helpful tools, techniques, and strategies to help you learn how to overcome any obstacle that may come your way. You will learn how to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and what can actually be done about them! From talking it out to trying new approaches, we'll work together to find what works best for you. I’m confident in my skills to help you build insight, feel confident, and make lasting transformations in your life. I look forward to learning more about you and what new things we can discover together.

Interests

I’ve been a musician for a long time. Trombone had been my main instrument that I went to school for, but I also play piano which I do almost daily. Music definitely helps me relax and clear my mind. In fact, I still play trombone occasionally in a cover band for an Elvis impersonator! I really enjoy cooking and baking. I have been constantly working to take small steps to improve my diet while keeping things tasty! I’ve definitely discovered that what we eat matters in so many ways, so I love discovering new foods, trying new recipes, and exploring everything food-related. I also love to travel. Every year I try to travel to at least one new country. Experiencing different cultures in parts of the world is really humbling, and I love how it highlights the ways humanity is united. Trips I’ve had in recent years include Belize, Japan, Italy, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland, and a few more. Other things I enjoy include spending time with family, playing card games, board games, video games, hiking, and spending time outdoors.
