Do you ever ask yourself "why am I like this?" If so, lets work together. I'm a seasoned therapist that helps clients understand the parts of themselves that don't always make sense. I use an eclectic approach along with compassion and acceptance to give clients a safe space to be vulnerable. Together we can learn more about the inner workings of your brain and work to change any behaviors that might not be favorable. Whether you are dealing with overwhelming emotions, situational stressors, or cyclical anxiety and depression we can create a plan that works for you. I also specialize in treating trauma and am trained in EMDR. I pride myself in being a safe, diverse, and knowledgeable guide for your healing journey. If you're ready to start taking control of your mental health with a professional that's here for you then let's connect.
Our first session will consist of completing an intake assessment that includes questions that let me get to know you. We will address all the concerns that brought you to therapy giving you a chance to get it off your chest and even set some treatment goals.
My biggest strength as a therapist is providing a safe place to be vulnerable. Even if life seems chaotic I aim to be the one place you can come to take a deep breath, talk to someone who will listen, and have a person who believes and encourages you.
I like to encourage people to therapist shop. Entering the therapeutic relationship I acknowledge upfront I’m not everybody’s cup of tea. Clients that typically mesh with my approach include open minded, eager to learn individuals seeking a non judgmental place for healing.
