Great to meet you!

I would describe my work as trauma informed and experienced in the areas of grief/loss, history of abuse, anxiety, depression, anger, stage of life issues, transition/change, chronic pain and suffering. I believe that healing from hurtful experiences and relationships, as well as adding clarity and balance to present day values, often benefits from the guidance and support that can be offered by a skilled, kind and caring therapist.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you. We'll be drawing upon approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to better shift and challenge unhelpful thoughts; and acceptance and commitment therapy to assist in fostering openness and vulnerability, while better identifying actions and behaviors consistent with our values. We'll also be utilizing various mindfulness-based techniques and strategies to further cultivate compassion and gratitude for yourself and others.

What you can expect from our first session

I work to prioritize kindness and compassion in both my personal and professional relationships. I believe in honest and open communication, and that there is a reciprocal process that takes place as we work together. I believe that therapy can be fun and enjoyable, and that these elements are important pieces to have on our path to self-discovery, connection, healing, and personal/spiritual growth.
