At Better You, our mission is to help you become the best version of yourself or, to discover the person you’ve always wanted to be. We will work together to explore your unique journey, address your challenges, and celebrate your strengths. We are dedicated to uncovering new perspectives and achieving personal growth.
This practice is built on the values of authenticity, empathy, and trust. I believe that healing and growth happen when you feel comfortable and supported, and that’s exactly what I’m here to provide.

Our Specialties and Approach to Treatment
Depression
When depression shows up, it often feels like everything slows down — like you’re stuck in a rut where motivation is hard to find and even the simplest tasks seem overwhelming.
We’ll start by understanding what depression looks like for you — the thoughts, the feelings, and the patterns that seem to drag you down. We’ll help you challenge those negative thoughts that say "nothing will get better" and explore healthier ways to think about yourself and the world around you.
Our goal is to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that are still there. To find small but powerful actions that can start to shift your mood and bring some light and meaning back to your life.
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like a constant buzz in the background of your mind, always on edge, making it hard to relax or focus. It might show up as racing thoughts, a tight chest, or a stomach that’s always in knots.
We’ll start by gaining a better understanding of anxiety, so it doesn’t get the best of you. We’ll explore practical, down-to-earth strategies to help you face those moments of worry and uncertainty with a little more confidence and a lot less stress. We will unpack the thoughts and patterns that fuel your anxiety, challenge those overactive “what ifs” and find healthier, more balanced ways of looking at things.
Our goal is to help you regain your sense of peace, so anxiety stops calling the shots.
Relationships
Our relationships are essential to our overall well-being. Without clear expectations or defined roles, it can be easy to feel confused or uncertain about where you stand. You might struggle with mixed signals, fear of vulnerability, or anxiety about what the other person truly wants, making it harder to navigate your needs and desires.
We will start by exploring your current relationship dynamics, and understand the root causes of conflict and unhealthy patterns. Together we will build self-compassion, improve emotional regulation and resilience, learn to set boundaries, manage expectations, and understand the balance of power and vulnerability in all types of relationships.
Our goal is to give you the tools you need to enhance your relationships, or the courage to move on and embrace a new chapter.
