Welcome! I'm proud of you for taking the first step in contemplating whether you want to pursue therapy at this time. While counseling can be a rewarding and empowering experience, starting new or over isn't easy and finding the right fit can be daunting. I am here to tell you through both personal and professional past experiences that treatment can impact you positively if you do find the right fit. I utilize an empathetic, trauma-informed, active-listening, and person-centered approach and aim to be the passenger of the car as you, the driver, begin to forge a path on the road to your own healing and recovery.
I specialize in treating traumatic events as well as their everyday lingering symptoms that're impacting your functioning. I aim to provide a validating and empathetic environment to help you instill change at a rate that feels most comfortable for you, while also working to build a solid foundation of therapeutic trust, which is critical in therapy.
Through building self-awareness, learning to challenge your negative thoughts and beliefs, improving self-esteem and confidence, learning and utilizing coping skills to navigate life's stressors and daily mental health symptoms, and by beginning to address and process your past traumas, a life worth living can be found and progress can be made.
