Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! First, let me tell you that therapy is my passion. I genuinely believe in helping people on their healing journey and that begins with developing a trusting therapeutic relationship. It is so important to allow people to feel heard and supported without judgment. I have extensive experience in treating many different diagnoses and enjoy working with my clients as they discover their own strengths and find their own voices. Let's do this together!

My approach to therapy

My style of therapy is person-centered, which means I provide a nonjudgmental environment conducive to honest self-exploration. Each person has the capacity for growth. I have great experience working with stress management, anxiety, and depressive disorders. I also enjoy using mindfulness techniques and positive psychology with my clients as we see fit. I believe the client is in control of their therapeutic progress and I encourage this self-empowerment for all of my clients.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to feel heard and accepted by me. I create an environment of nonjudgment and create space to explore and heal. I encourage the development of a self-care routine and assist clients in identifying their strengths to help them make the progress they desire. I educate clients on techniques to challenge anxious or depressive thoughts, as well as develop personalized, attainable goals.
