Great to meet you!

My focus as a therapist has been helping clients challenge experienced traumas and working to find inner peace and healing. Treatment goals are focused on developing a better understanding of the self as a person and role in society. Clients often come to treatment seeking stability and consistency in their journey and are open to a two-way dialogue regarding their needs.

My approach to therapy

I can assist by providing individualized, trauma-informed treatment. I utilize cognitive processing therapy to help identify stuck points that interfere with day-to-day living. I offer a reflective listening style and will challenge my clients to think critically. My style is direct but warm and supportive. This is a judgment-free space focused on change.

What you can expect from me

The first session is definitely a space to get to know each other at your pace. Some folks prefer to dive in deep and that’s fine by me. However others may be more on guard. While I will be working on intake paperwork, I tell clients during their intakes to go at their pace and feel free to tell me to back off if you’re not ready to share everything.
