Hello! I'm dedicated to offering you an affirming, therapeutic space to help you feel heard, respected, and emotionally safe. I work with young adults and adults experiencing difficulty managing anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions or changes, and the everyday stresses of college, work, and relationships. There's no doubt that starting therapy can be scary or uncomfortable. So, I will always take great care in building an affirming, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment for you to talk through things like persistent or excessive worry, self‑esteem, anger, stress, and coping skills.
I will always work toward meeting you with an affirming attitude and an emotionally comfortable environment. During our first session, we'll discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy, explore the challenges you are working through, and set realistic goals. You can expect for me to ask you some questions, including things like you what brings you into therapy, what type of mental health services you've had before, if you have any goals or something specific you want to work towards, and what you hope to get out of therapy sessions overall. You'll also have the opportunity to ask me the questions you might have, too!
My therapeutic approach is guided by respect, patience, and empathy, and aims to help you realize your innate strengths, build resilience, and cultivate self-trust and self-compassion. I meet each person with a tailored approach, honoring each individual's unique personality and experiences. Together, we can explore and enhance your current strengths while unlocking inner strengths that have yet to flourish.
Clients who want an emotionally comfortable, affirming, nonjudgmental space for self-exploration and opportunities to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors may find their work with me meaningful. I work with people who are feeling ready to learn and practice coping strategies for anxiety and depression. Clients who work with me are seeking ways to feel competent and capable of thriving through the stresses, changes, or challenges that often come along with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and other life changes and transitions.
