People often come to therapy when life feels out of control and overwhelming. In those moments, I offer a safe space to slow down and work through what is going on. I help teens and young adults untangle overwhelming thoughts and build coping skills that fit real life. My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. My goal is to help my clients leave each session feeling heard and equipped with tools they can actually use.
My approach can change, depending on the needs of the people I see. I like to use a combination of therapeutic approaches, tailoring them to my clients' needs. I mostly use evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT to help establish lasting change.
The first session can be intimidating for a lot of people, but I prioritize building the therapeutic relationship. It is important to have a good dynamic with the therapist you choose to meet with, which is why we take things at your pace. Working with me, you can expect to set achievable goals, have a safe place to process difficult emotions and experiences, and receive accountability and encouragement every step of the way.
