Great to meet you!

Are you struggling with difficult emotions, unhealthy coping skills, and feeling overwhelmed with the task of getting through the day? I will provide you with guidance in discovering why the uncomfortable feelings happen, healing from past hurts, and developing healthy coping skills to assist with managing these feelings. I will help you find hope.

My therapy journey began with a desire to help others find strength and hope through life’s challenges. Working with hundreds of clients over the course of my 14 years in mental health has shown me the power of therapy in healing. I’m driven by the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and lasting change.

My approach to therapy

I use a variety of modalities to help you manage difficult emotions and reshape your harmful thinking. My approach is straightforward and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I may also incorporate mindfulness and distress tolerance to support your progress.

I prioritize clear and straightforward communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. You can expect me to be calm and patient and to enjoy a joke with you now and then.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
