I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human relationship. My goal is to create an environment where you feel accepted, challenged, and supported—not judged. I'll celebrate your successes with you, help you make sense of the difficult moments, and gently point out the patterns that may be holding you back. I bring curiosity, humor, and compassion into my work because meaningful growth doesn't have to happen in a room that feels cold or intimidating.
I take an integrative, collaborative approach to therapy because no single method fits every person. My work draws from person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential therapy, motivational interviewing, strengths-based therapy, and narrative approaches. Together, we'll work to better understand your experiences, develop practical coping skills, and build on your existing strengths so you can make meaningful, lasting changes in your life.
Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I'll spend time learning about what's bringing you to therapy, what you've already tried, and what you'd like your life to look like moving forward. You'll also have the chance to ask questions about my approach and decide whether we're a good fit. My goal is for you to leave our first meeting feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of where we can go together.
