Great to meet you!

As a devoted therapist, I believe that we all have the inner strength to overcome our obstacles, sometimes we just need the education, support, and empowerment to help us along. It takes strength to even acknowledge that we need that help, so you are already doing awesome taking this first step! I have experience working with individuals struggling with a wide range of challenges and backgrounds. I currently specialize in working with young adults and adolescents facing difficulties with ADHD and anxiety.

My approach to therapy

I believe that every person in unique and should be able to express their individuality freely. Therefore, I strive to provide a comfortable environment for my clients to feel safe enough to fully express themselves. I use a collaborative approach to assist in setting goals, learning, and implementation of skills.

What you can expect from me

The first session gives us an opportunity to get to know each other. I hold space to hear your story and for you to ask me questions about what the therapeutic process may look like working with me. The first step to an effective therapeutic process is building rapport and I believe that it is the most important step.
