Are you finding it difficult to move past a trauma or a loss? Are you feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in the same negative thought cycles? Are your go-to coping strategies or communication style no longer serving you or your relationships? Do you want to embark on your own personal healing journey, but aren't sure where to begin? If so, you're not alone. I am here to offer an empathetic, non-judgmental space for you to process through whatever you're going through, and to work with you to chart a new path towards positive growth and change. Together, we can build up the skills and resources for a more joyful and fulfilling life.
I take a holistic, solution-focused, and systemic approach to therapy, tailoring my interventions to meet each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities including Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, ACT, and MI. I am passionate about helping people to build healthier relationships and to feel more comfortable in their own skin.
It is an honor to work with anyone who has taken this courageous step towards healing. If you're ready to get to work, I'm ready to walk with you every step of the way. Let's chat!
