Great to meet you!

As a therapist, I pride myself on being a well-rounded individual with a warm and welcoming personality. I am trained as both an addiction counselor and in EMDR. I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable and supported. My diverse background allows me to connect with individuals from all walks of life, fostering an atmosphere of trust and openness.

A bit about my approach to therapy

During the first session, my goal is for clients to leave with a clear understanding of their treatment game plan while feeling truly heard. This initial meeting is an opportunity for us to establish a solid foundation for our work together, where we can collaboratively identify goals and explore the best ways to achieve them. I believe that feeling understood is crucial for effective therapy, and I make it a priority to listen actively and empathetically.

What you can expect from our first session

My strengths lie in my comprehensive training in various therapeutic modalities, my use of humor to alleviate tension, and my ability to balance directness with kindness. I believe that therapy should be both a safe space for vulnerability and a place for growth and progress. My aim is to empower clients by providing them with the tools they need to overcome challenges while fostering a supportive and nurturing environment.
