Picking up the phone and making the initial call can be the hardest part of therapy. I am so proud of you for making this decision and I'd love if you'd allow me to walk this journey with you! I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples work through difficult moments in their lives such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma and much more. As a therapist, and a client myself, I know how important it is to build a strong relationship and feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and ask for help. I'm excited to have the opportunity to be there every step along the way of your journey!
I use a strength-based, non-judgmental, systemic approach by looking at all the factors that might be contributing to these behaviors and stressors to help alleviate blame, increase support, and help you function as your best self.
I take pride in meeting my clients where they are in their life and moving at a rate that you are comfortable with. It is important for me to use a mixture of empathy, compassion, humor, and validation in all of my sessions. I look forward to meeting you and appreciate you letting me come along on your journey!
