We can all use some support at some point in our lives. Whether we are going through a life transition, experiencing the loss of something meaningful to us, or simply feeling stagnant in life, just to name a few. Sometimes, the hardest part is recognizing we need support or realizing that it is okay not to do it alone. If you are reading this, you are likely contemplating getting that support or may be ready to start that journey! Either way, it is the first step. That is great! My goal as a therapist is to assist the person, I am working with to navigate emotions or behaviors that they may want to better understand or change.

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, client-centered lens focused on empathy and compassion to support the creation of long-term, effective changes. I strive to equip my clients with the hope that it is normal to feel any and every kind of emotion but also give them tools to cope effectively and learn from those emotions. My goal is to provide a trusting environment to uncover those human emotions, find what works or does not work, and collaborate to reach new and healthier goals for life.

I enjoy assisting individuals in overcoming depression, anxiety and trauma and am trained in EMDR. As a trauma-informed therapist, my approach to therapy is very gentle and person-centered.

Therapy can be an emotionally painful and difficult process, but also an empowering and rewarding investment towards emotional healing, interpersonal growth and healthy relationships. You have already started this journey by recognizing and asking for professional help. This shows courage, motivation and desire to change. Having a positive experience starts with a trusting connection with a therapist in a safe, neutral and supportive environment. In my practice, I focus on strengths and solutions to help clients gain insight about their current dysfunctional patterns and develop behavioral action plans to make positive changes.
