Great to meet you!

I believe therapy and growth starts with the relationship client and therapist. I'm here for clients when life is going to life. Many of the tools and strategies I use with clients are ones I've successful used and practice in my own journey in therapy. I practice a lot of grace, patience and empathy and respect where clients want to go and the pace they want to grow. I use a combination of a lot of fancy therapy acronyms with clients from DBT, IFS and CBT. I specialize in substance abuse disorder, anxiety, depression and working with teens and young adults.

My approach to therapy

I use a relational based method to connect with clients. Basically, i believe no approach to therapy can be succesful if the relationship and rapport isn't present. From there I figure out what works best for the client since everyone is unique. I lean towards DBT & CBT, and also have other tools like IFS & Art Therapy.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect hope, a created holding space with freedom to express and explore any of their emotions and thoughts, and a firm understanding of what growth looks like over a 3 month period.
