About me
I am a warm and approachable person who brings a positive, honest, grounded perspective to each session. Working in the “here and now” allows for an intuitive process to unfold through collaboration and consistent sessions. I draw from many psychotherapeutic approaches depending on client needs. Often therapy includes: CBT, Adlerian, Trauma Informed, ArtTherapy, and Humanistic modalities.
Imagine what a little hope would do for you right now and in the coming year. Now is a great time to start small changes to reach bigger goals. I work with clients experiencing anxiety and depression. Often how we feel is a result of traumatic experiences. Sometimes we do not know where the symptoms are coming from and this can be a process of discovery or peeling back the paint layers to uncover how you connect the dots between experiences in your life and how you are feeling. When we know that a specific trauma is the cause of distress we can work through that in a direct fashion. Supporting clients with symptoms of Anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues and stress management.
I applaud you for starting the search to find a therapist. It can feel empowering to reach out for support. Research shows that often clients begin to feel relief after scheduling their first therapy session. More relief comes as the work unfolds and you implement new approaches to old problems. I want to empower you to live your best life now and make 2022 a magnificent year.
