I specialize in working with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, high conflict with others, and anger/aggression. I enjoy working with clients to help them find their voice and understand how to both identify AND effectively communicate their own emotions. In my work I focus on building healthy skills to be able to utilize and build self-esteem to assert your needs to others and build boundaries for unhealthy relationships. By joining me in therapy, we will work together to address the patterns that have you feeling stuck. I utilize CBT and DBT skills within sessions to help you become more self-aware and build emotional strength.
