About me
As your therapist, my approach is relational, empathetic, and deeply rooted in understanding the unique experiences that shape your life.
No two clients are the same so I hope that my clients will leave feeling seen and feel comfortable enough to call me out if I miss the mark. My approach is collaborative and, so, together we will create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns without judgment. In our sessions, you can expect to gain deeper self awareness, work on improving your relationships, and develop practical tools to manage your symptoms.
I believe that everyone deserves to get proper care and to have a space in their lives where they feel safe and heard in order to begin the healing process. Whether you are navigating life after trauma, dealing with loss, struggling with relationship or self-esteem issues, or dealing with cycles of anxiety or depression, I am here to help. Together we can work to process the past, develop tools to enhance your quality of life, and create overall positive change.
I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing & Trauma-Focused Therapy.
My biggest strengths are that I am warm, personable, and human. The most important tool I can bring to the therapy room is our relationship so I take my time building trust and rapport with my clients. I have my own lived experience that I use to inform my counseling approach and make clients feel less alone in their struggles. I am highly focused on building a safe, supportive, and nurturing atmosphere as these are the building blocks to successful treatment.
