Our thoughts and emotions can at times feel overwhelming and all consuming. My approach to therapy is to help you start to build the ability to turn down the volume of your thoughts and emotions so you can feel more at ease, calm, and better understand why you experience those thoughts and feelings.

Explore how overthinking is impacting your confidence and ability to communicate your needs to others, use humor and laughter to bring compassion to your struggles, and find ways to feel more in control of your emotions.

A compassionate person who helps people process and acknowledge difficult topics.

Are teens and young adults with big hearts who often hide their struggles and emotions and worry they aren't living up to the goals they have for themselves. They feel overwhelmed with their racing thoughts and question their decisions and behaviors.

I enjoy connecting and supporting people one on one and wanted to create a space where people feel comfortable opening up and being themselves.

Being a shy, anxious person I have gravitated towards helping others who are hesitant to open up. I worked in the nonprofit mental health field for the last 12 years and recently opened up my own practice, Encourage Joy Therapy.
