Great to meet you!

Do you have pain from the past or worries about the future that make it difficult to enjoy the present? Are you facing a life transition and are unsure about how to process the changes? As a licensed therapist I can help you work through these concerns and more. Our work together in therapy can translate to your life in multiple ways including facing challenging emotions, improving self-esteem, enhancing relationships, and building communication skills / learning to establish healthy boundaries.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe there is no "one size fits all approach" to therapy and I combine client-centered and solution focused techniques which encourage you to be an active participant in the recovery process. Empathy, non-judgmental listening, and sensitivity are core qualities I have to help you feel fully accepted and acknowledged during sessions. Therapy is a collaborative effort which explores your difficulties, looks within yourself for increased insight, and instills a sense of hope for the future.

What you can expect from our first session

It is my mission to help you take the first steps towards personal growth and change while creating a safe space where you can feel empowered during the process. You will be supported during moments of vulnerability, regain confidence, and learn to build self-compassion when faced with difficult emotions, conflict, and stress. I will provide you with reflective writing prompts or coping exercises to try that are tailored to your needs for the best therapeutic benefit.
