Great to meet you!

I'm committed to helping people learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My work focuses on anxiety management, self compassion, boundary setting and self-esteem building. The brokenness doesn't have to last always.

My approach to therapy

I believe in using a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. This is done with a mixture of solution-focused, narrative, existential, and person-centered therapy. My style is not to spout as many technical terms and labels as possible, but rather to make you feel at home with conversation that feels more like friends talking al fresco at a cafe. Together, we'll collaborate in a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, emotions, and goals. I typically focus on outcomes such as building emotional resilience, improving communication, increasing self-awareness, and fostering healthy coping strategies.

What you can expect from me

During our first 2 sessions, I just want to hear you and learn about the reasons you're here and what your passions are. You can expect me to ask clarifying questions without pressure.

In sessions that follow, I expect that clients will take away an increased self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I offer support in clarifying their goals, identifying barriers, and building on their strengths. After each session, clients will have something small to practice or apply to their daily life until we meet again.

Whether we're working through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, clients often leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered with tools to make meaningful change.
