As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm and welcoming space for you to feel comfortable. My approach is to provide you with support and guide you in building coping strategies.

First session
In our first session together, we will discuss what led you to seek treatment and together we will determine what goals you have for therapy. I will also describe my approach during therapy sessions and would be happy to answer any questions you have about the process. I strive to provide you with support, compassion, and helping you feel heard.
Strengths
As a therapist since 2015, I have been able to help my clients overcome and better manage their stress and anxiety. My clients have also described me as empathetic, non-judgmental, and a good listener.
Ideal clients
I work with individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, and those looking to improve their communication within their relationships, families or friendships.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Through the use of DBT in sessions, you will learn coping skills to better manage your emotions and navigate interpersonal conflicts. DBT is clinically proven to assist those with difficulty with regulating their mood.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT will be used in sessions to heighten your awareness of your thoughts and emotions, and to challenge any irrational thoughts. CBT is an evidenced based approach that helps those with mood disorders including anxiety and depression.
