I have a passion for helping individuals make foundational growth and change that best suits them. I strive to provide you with a safe, authentic, and non-judgmental space so that you may express yourself freely. Our relationship will be a unique connection tailored to your specific needs. My eclectic approach provides you with a personalized treatment plan tailored to you as an individual.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will likely be a "getting to know one another." I will have some questions to gain a deeper insight into your journey thus far and the goals you might have in mind for therapy. I welcome complete transparency and will also reserve time for you to ask me anything about our time together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I strive on my ability to strike a balance between an empathetic and warm welcome to treatment, in addition to a push and challenge to encourage real growth. My theoretical approaches achieve a similar balance in processing the root of what makes us "us," all while also offering tools for tangible change. It is a complex balance of redefining your inner self, in addition to developing new skills for the day-to-day needs and stress that may come your way.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Starting therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming and maybe even scary. However, it is already a significant step forward that you have taken toward addressing your needs. We will work together on finally gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, discovering and overcoming the obstacles that have kept you from where you want to be, and encourage and challenge you for authentic growth. With a balance of guidance and challenge, we will be able to achieve your goals for now and for what your future may hold.

My treatment methods

Psychodynamic

I've studied and seen firsthand the power of making long-lasting, foundational change by working through the root of where our patterns may originate from. The purpose of uncovering and processing the root of the patterns we seek to change will help generate a greater sense of awareness of when it takes over in the here and now. Developing a deeper understanding and awareness of our patterns and triggers allows us to strengthen our grip on how we want to actively change them in the moment.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

As we generate a greater sense of awareness of ourselves, it becomes that much more manageable to implement long-lasting growth. CBT offers tangible tools to start reframing and changing our patterns in a more functional, productive, and positive way that suits your needs.
