Life can throw us curveballs, and sometimes we need a little extra support to find our way through. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Together, we can navigate the internal and external challenges you’re facing and work towards finding relief. Using a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach, I’ll help you discover new perspectives on your situation, learn to embrace difficult emotions, and develop healthy coping strategies that fit your unique needs. My aim is to make our sessions comfortable and engaging, often bringing a touch of humor to lighten the load. I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life, including college students and emerging adults navigating transitions. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or other life changes, I’m dedicated to supporting you in building resilience and finding your path forward. Let’s work together to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Reach out today to take the first step toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a welcoming atmosphere without judgement. My goal in the first session is to get to know the client, understand their concerns and goals they want to work on and create a safe and comfortable place.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I value being reliable to my clients, as well as communicative. I do not cancel short notice and always give advance notice of appointment changes.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I have worked with a wide range of ages from adults starting around the college age all the way to seniors. I have worked with clients in multiple settings that range in demographics and concerns. I have experience in inpatient, outpatient, in person, and virtual settings. I have worked with many clients experiencing anxiety and depression. I feel comfortable working with any client who is looking to find relief and work on their goals. I want all my clients to feel supported and validated.
