What should a new client know about working with you?

As a psychotherapist at the Center for the Healing Arts, I am dedicated to helping you shift to a place of growth and healing to lean into the most authentic, happiest version of yourself. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, or challenging behaviors such as difficulty following directions, emotional outbursts, or ongoing conflict, I am here to help you. Within each engaging and interactive session, I create a space for you to learn the tools and skills you need while feeling safe and understood. I will empower you to discover healthier forms of expression and provide you with strategies to better support yourself. You deserve better than just getting by - you deserve to thrive. First responders: In addition to having first responders in my family, I'm specifically trained to offer psychotherapy to first responders and reserve session spots for them. Athletes: I enjoy helping athletes navigate specific stressors to allow them to reach their highest potential.
