As a compassionate and experienced therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with adults, teens, and children, with a particular focus on people facing emotional challenges and life transitions. My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy, which emphasizes understanding individuals within the broader context of their relationships, family dynamics, and life experiences. This framework allows me to tailor treatment to each client’s unique history and current needs. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and practice client-centered therapy, which means that I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you are heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to empower you to gain insight into your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, while providing practical tools to manage and heal from anxiety, depression, and trauma. Together, we will explore the patterns that may be holding you back and work towards achieving greater emotional balance and resilience. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, navigating relationship challenges, or working through past trauma, I am here to guide you toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

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

In the first intake session, we will begin by getting to know each other and establishing a comfortable space for open dialogue. This session typically involves gathering information about your life history, including key events, challenges, and experiences that have shaped who you are today. While the intake process may extend over more than one session, the goal is to gain an initial understanding of your background, current concerns, and what brings you to therapy. We will also review some initial paperwork, including consent forms, confidentiality agreements, and goals for therapy. This helps ensure that you feel informed and confident as we begin our work together. The first session is an opportunity to build rapport, clarify expectations, and lay the foundation for a collaborative, supportive therapeutic relationship.

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

My greatest strength as a clinician is genuine compassion. This compassion helps to foster trusts, promotes effective communication, and ensures that clients feel valued and cared for, not just as individuals experiencing mental health issues, but as whole people.
