Great to meet you!

I have over 22 years of experience in helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life stressors. My approach is trauma focused, engaging, and strength based with an emphasis on creating a supportive and trusting relationship. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate environment where clients can feel comfortable exploring challenges, building on their strengths, and developing the tools needed to create positive and lasting change. I have extensive experience and knowledge in loss and grief, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.

My approach to therapy

I take a client-centered empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and respected. My work is grounded in a genuine commitment to each client's overall well-being, helping them navigate challenges while building on their strengths. I tailor treatment to meet each person's unique needs and goals. My goal is to foster a collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to gain insight, develop effective coping strategies, and create lasting change.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story at your own pace. I prioritize being a thoughtful and attentive listener, taking the time to truly understand your experiences, concerns, and goals. We can then lay the foundation for meaningful, lasting change. This first session is also important to build trust and explore what is bringing you to therapy so that we can build client-driven goals together.
