Are you someone who is looking to gain an understanding of why it’s so hard to have a meaningful life? Maybe you have been searching endlessly for an answer to this question but has yet to find it. And coming to therapy feels overwhelming. Look no further because you've come to the right place! My ideal client is you. I help clients to understand their overwhelming emotions and how these emotions can affect our daily lives. When clients come to see me, I also share that most importantly what I offer is a different perspective. Using this approach builds trust with clients and insight of understanding my therapeutic approach.
I am a person-centered therapist with 11+ years of clinical and medical social work offering individual and family therapy. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Teen Therapy, & Trauma. I have an integrative approach to therapy using modalities like CBT, DBT, Self-Compassion, and IFS. I also incorporate an understanding of how our bodies respond to trauma.
In our work together I will empower you to make the choices that will be meaningful to you. I do this by offering empathy and understanding for how therapy is a vulnerable experience that can bring up a lot of emotions. And giving you the space to feel these emotions. It would be a privilege to be part of your therapy journey of self-exploration & self love.
