Great to meet you!

I am an Licensed Therapist with over 5 years of experience providing therapy to adults. I specialize in psychotherapy and use a strengths-based approach when working with clients. I focus on helping people work through life transitions, manage stress and anxiety, and build on their existing strengths to support growth and resilience.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is strengths based and client centered. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable being open and honest, while also being direct and transparent in my feedback.

I work collaboratively with clients to better understand their thoughts and emotions, build coping skills, and navigate things like stress, anxiety, and life changes. My style is warm, down to earth, and honest. I believe in challenging clients and holding them accountable, while still supporting them in recognizing and building on their strengths.

What you can expect from me

In the first session, clients can expect a brief intake where we talk about what brings them to therapy, what’s been going on lately, and what they’re hoping to get out of it. I’ll also ask some background questions to get a better understanding of the situation.

My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive space where clients feel heard and not judged. We’ll start to identify what they want to work on in therapy and what their goals might look like. It’s a chance to get to know each other and figure out what feels most helpful moving forward.
