I work alongside my clients to help them move towards their goals and reconnect with what matters most to them. Compassion, creativity, and a social-justice lens are important to me and informs my practice. I want for you to feel heard, understood, and validated. At the same time, know that I will challenge you when it is appropriate, and encourage you to experiment with doing things differently than you may have done before. Relief and healing is possible, change and flourishing is possible, but not without effort on your part. Therapy is about getting the support you need, while learning ways to cope, recover, grow, and thrive.
I have a lot of experience working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, & life/career transitions. If you're looking to finally do some work to improve your mental health, let's connect. Also, I often assign homework between sessions. These might look like exercises or activities to engage in, or prompts to consider and reflect upon.
Seeking therapy can feel scary but you are making the right choice. Give yourself permission to take this time for yourself. You deserve a space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the challenges that have brought you here. Let's work together!
