Great to meet you!

I have over a decade of experience treating adult individuals struggling with a variety of mental health challenges. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and a humanistic approach to help clients examine, challenge, and change unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, all while working with them to build self-compassion, confidence, and optimize personal growth.

My approach to therapy

After over a decade of working with clients, I truly believe that we all want to know that we are not alone in our experiences. I’ve learned that every person already has the answers they need and my role is to ask the right questions to help discover them.

What you can expect from me

Each session will be an opportunity to check in and talk about anything that has come up since our last session. We may pick up where we left off or we might talk about a new event that has occurred. Progress will be monitored by how you are feeling, progress made towards goals, and your feedback. I may assign homework, but it’s not always necessary. From my experience, therapy works best with those who are motivated to change, open to feedback, and willing to explore uncomfortable feelings.
