Great to meet you!

Therapy can be scary and I understand how overwhelming it may feel to begin the treatment process. Therefore, it is my goal to create a safe, comfortable and judgement free environment for each of my clients. Together, it is my hope to build a trusting, therapeutic relationship to support each client's healing and growth. I believe that it is my role as a therapist to allow each client to be heard and to guide them through the change process in a way that makes sense for them.

My approach to therapy

I use a person-centered approach to therapy and a combination of mindfulness, cognitive behaviorial therapy (CBT), and problem solving treatment. I have clinical experience working with indiviudals, couples, and families treating a wide variety of issues such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, PTSD, Emotional Regulation and Grief. I treat children and adults, but my speciality has always been working with adolescents experiencing difficulties

What you can expect from me

We'll work together to explore what has been stopping you from achieving happiness in a compassionate and non-judmental space that is only yours. I will offer you uncontditional positive regard and support throughout your mental health journey.
