• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical strategies to increase your overall mental health 

I work in many areas but specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to implement change in how you 

• think/talk to yourself, 
• feel (manage overwhelming feelings, stress, sadness, etc and improve confidence), and how you 
• act (what you do or do not do because of your “issue”).
• Changes in any of these areas can influence one another, and ultimately impact how you live more fully in your work, relationships, and life–to truly come alive. 

However, counselling is so personalized to you. I always tailor my approach uniquely to you and your unique goals.

• Clients who are dealing with anxiety/social anxiety, perfectionism, and depression
• Limiting beliefs about themselves, negative thoughts that keep resurfacing
• Negative body image and disordered eating
• Self-esteem and self-worth
• Being stuck and barriers to becoming your most vibrant self
• Adolescent and teen issues: friendships and difficult emotions, anxiety and social anxiety, building self-confidence and working on recognizing and growing your strengths
• Increasing resiliency and empowerment
• Navigating new life changes such as sobriety, returning to school, career and overcoming grief amongst others.
