Great to meet you!

I treat individuals who have experienced a traumatic event, and are struggling with the anxiety or depression as a result of that event. I help individuals to find relief to their symptoms, redefine how they see their world, and get back to engaging in life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is based on what suits you best. Some of my clients like a structured, paced approach, some like a more creative approach, and others like a mixture of both. I take an active presence in session, and will encourage you to practice outside of session. I give homework, journal prompts, and use techniques involving art materials. My clients find my approach to be warm, supportive, direct, no-nonsense, and down-to-earth.

What you can expect from me

You will always understand why something works, or how something works. I love to help my client understand how they are experiencing, and where it comes from. I use a lot of education about your symptoms, because I feel this is important for you to get relief. More often than not, you will walk away from our sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered.
