About me
I'm an adolescent and adult therapist who is passionate about helping those who are suffering from depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, self-esteem issues, relational issues, and trauma. Before joining my current practice, I provided therapy at a group private practice, where I specialized in adolescent and adult mental health, with a focus on trauma-informed care and somatic approaches. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults who were experiencing anxiety, depression, self-harm, trauma, self-esteem issues, and parent-child relationships, and have specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.
Are you exhausted from feeling like something is "wrong" with you? Tired of feeling like you don't fit in? Struggling with anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts can often times make you feel broken and completely disconnected from the world around you. In our journey together, the work isn't about being "broken" or like something is "wrong". Together, we will create a strong therapeutic alliance that promotes trust, understanding, empathetic and compassionate listening. In our space together, not only does your voice AND story matter, but your feelings and emotions are heard, validated, and seen.
My office is your space to feel, talk, think, and be however you want. Our journey isn't about changing you, but reconnecting you. Our work together guides you to become curious about connecting with yourself, creating new meanings, and different perceptions. Using narrative, cognitive, and some somatic approaches, we'll create new strengths to reconnect you to you.
You matter and your feelings matter. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, self-confidence, feelings of suicide, or relational issues, please don't hesitate to reach out. We can do this together. Call me to schedule a free consult and we can begin your healing journey.
