Seeking therapy is a brave choice and a valuable step in the healing process. If you are pursing therapy for support through a difficult time or transition, for healing childhood wounds, if you are feeling emotional pain or hurt, having trouble navigating a difficult relationship, and/or seeking deeper self-exploration, betterment and growth, I commend you. This is a courageous first step.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable and safe sharing with is invaluable. Therapy is in fact a journey we will enter together, so feeling emotionally secure with your therapist is of the upmost importance. I strive to create a secure and supportive environment that facilitates healing and growth without judgement.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

There is no right or wrong way to go through therapy. I believe in the individual, and thus tailer my approach to each client and their unique needs. I will most often utilize a combination of modalities to best suit the client, and specialize in psychodynamic, humanistic, client-centered, creative play-based, and solution-focused approaches.
