Welcome! I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My approach is warm, compassionate, and person-centered, and I’ll meet you where you are while helping you better understand yourself and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll identify patterns, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. Most importantly, I want you to feel heard, supported, and comfortable being your authentic self.
I approach therapy with an empathetic heart and open mind. Meeting my clients where they are, I support positive change through helping the people that I serve understand the connection between thoughts, feelings and behavior, and utilize solution-focused approaches to support clients in development of effective problem-solving skills. Additionally, exploration of topics that gently address reluctance or uncertainty about change, and practice of mindfulness approaches to increase feelings of calm and management of negative symptoms.
In therapy, my goals include thoughtfully discussing symptoms, and identifying triggers to problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Supporting my clients in obtaining healthy coping skills and gaining deeper insight into their individual situations that caused them to seek therapy.
Identifying any barriers that prevent clients from making progress towards therapeutic goals.
Supporting clients in strengthening their resolve to commit to behavioral change, and guiding them closer to accomplishing behavioral goals, one step at a time.
