I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. With more than 13 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach to our work together. I’ll meet you where you are while also gently challenging you to explore patterns, build on your strengths, and make meaningful changes in your life. Most importantly, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person, so we’ll work together to understand not only what you’re experiencing, but also the patterns or underlying factors that may be contributing to it. I’ll support you in building practical tools, exploring different perspectives, and finding ways to move forward when situations feel difficult or overwhelming. I also believe there are times when gentle challenge can be helpful, and I’ll encourage you to reflect, grow, and recognize the strengths you already bring with you.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin understanding what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what feels most important to you right now, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences and needs, while making sure you have space to share at a pace that feels comfortable. Together, we’ll begin identifying goals and creating a plan for moving forward.
