I believe therapy can be a universally rewarding practice that can help navigate through life's stressors. Especially in the last few years, we see how important it is to take care of ourselves and find support. It can be overwhelming and intimidating even trying to find a place to start. My goal is to help you navigate through obstacles and barriers you may experience in order to start looking forward to the future. You are the expert on your thoughts and experiences, and we will work together to find solutions that best fit your needs. My orientation is client-centered, meaning that you and I are equal partners in navigating the struggles you are going through. My approach is integrative, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and humanistic approaches. My style is warm and casual; I understand the importance of building a strong and trustworthy relationship to create a safe and comfortable space for you. My main objective is to help you make the changes you need to have a life you enjoy living. We will work together to rediscover excitement in life and overcome the stressors that can overshadow them.

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

I will work at your pace to create a comfortable environment for you. We can take as much or little time as you need to build a trusting relationship. My goal is for you to feel safe enough to express any thought, feeling, or problem you may be experiencing. We will then work together to find the best way for you to tackle these issues.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I approach therapy with an eclectic style and like to use different techniques from different modalities. The most common modalities that I draw from are cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and humanistic approaches.

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

My biggest goal is for you to feel comfortable and free to talk about whatever you feel. I know how hard it can be to share deep and intimate thoughts with another person, especially when you feel like that person is a stranger. I value the importance of creating a relationship and getting to know each other.
