Each of us has a story to tell and I'm here to listen to yours, to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to reflect on your experiences and create lasting positive change that matters most to you. Whether you're seeking support to help cope with a stressful life transition or crisis, improve the quality of your relationships, or manage your mental health, together we'll work to recognize and build upon your resiliency and develop healthy ways for creating greater happiness, wellness and fulfillment. Change can be overwhelming and scary, so having an ally in your corner to help clear away road blocks can make the world of a difference.
We are all unique, so my approach will be individually tailored to you, your reasons for seeking help, and your specific goals. I incorporate CBT, psychodynamic, attachment, strengths, and mindfulness-based approaches. I truly believe that struggles and stresses don't have to define you, and prior experiences and patterns don't have to dictate your future.
Therapy can provide a chance to gain a deeper understanding of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and patterns and how they interact to shape our choices, sense of self and how we engage with the world. Cultivating such insight helps us heal from past hurts, become un-stuck and move towards meaningful change, our best selves and experiencing life to the fullest.
