Great to meet you!

I have centered my work around my clients with empathy throughout my 15 years as an empathetic therapist eager to support your needs. In my career I have worked with individuals with a variety of presenting concerns and motivations in therapy, and my approach is to work with you in identifying your goals for our time. I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma and family-related stressors, and have predominantly worked with adolescents and adults of all ages.

My approach to therapy

My goal from the moment we begin our work together is to provide a supportive, safe, productive environment. I will empower you to guide your therapy as you are comfortable, and work alongside you to evaluate and check-in on our process and progress. During each session, I will meet you wherever you are, adjusting my focus to fit with either past or present life as they unfold.

What you can expect from me

In working with me, I typically utilize a solution-focused approach: I want to utilize your strengths and experience to help you achieve your goals. I am versed in balancing both a present focus and an eye towards healing whatever situations or relationships from the past may be holding you back. You will feel both listened to and supported throughout our work together.
