Great to meet you!

Hey there! Making the choice in addressing your mental health is the first step to showing up for yourself. I'm sure there have been times where you haven't been able to show up for yourself. Maybe you've been finding yourself feeling too stressed, too worried, too tired, "too" much of many things to feel connected to yourself, to your relationships, or to your work. Whatever you are feeling "too much of", I am prepared to meet you where you're at, accompanied by kindness and warmth.

My approach to therapy

I refer to myself as a person-centered therapist, focusing on reducing the intensity, frequency, & duration of your symptoms through evidenced-based and holistic practices. I utilize CBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, etc. I will give you honest feedback & help you build insight, while continuing to validate your input.

What you can expect from me

If you are motivated to learning more about yourself, your barriers and strengths, while implementing change, then I think we can work together to make this happen! Send me an email to set up a brief call to discuss your wants, needs, & goals, answer your questions, & ensure we will be a good fit.
