Are you struggling with: -fear, worry, or self-doubt? -sadness and a lack of contentment? -grief and loss? -major life changes or transitions? Often our emotions negatively impact our daily life and our relationships. It is possible to feel better and take back control of your emotions. I would be honored to help you get there. I believe therapy is most helpful when it is driven by your specific needs and preferences. I will listen carefully to understand your goals and will partner with you in working toward them. Taking the first step to begin therapy can feel overwhelming, but I will offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space to begin your process of growth and healing. I believe it is essential to have a good client-therapist fit. Let's meet and see if working together could benefit you.

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

Our first session will allow us to outline your current concerns and goals, as well as to determine whether we are a good fit. Moving forward, we will align our therapeutic work with your values and preferences, checking in along the way to make sure we are heading in the right direction.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Rather than specializing in any one type of therapy, I utilize a multifaceted approach based on your specific needs and preferences. We may use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Art Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, or other modalities. The most important thing is for the techniques we use to be a good fit for you and your needs.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am an attentive and nonjudgmental listener. I recognize that opening yourself up to a therapist takes courage and determination. I will honor the trust you have placed in me by creating a safe space for you to explore your current situation and your goals. I am particularly interested in working with: -individuals struggling with anxiety and depression -postpartum mothers facing the emotional challenges of this unique time of life -young adults transitioning to college or workforce -individuals navigating issues of grief and loss
