Hello! I hope your search is going well. I know how overwhelming it can be to sift through different profiles when it involves something so deeply personal. It is important you find what you are looking for. Psychotherapy can look different for everybody. I am trauma informed, and I practice individual psychotherapy with adults ages 18 and up, who are experiencing anxiety and depression, complex trauma, grief and loss, and loneliness and life transitions. My approach is engaging and warm, and I enjoy using humor, and integrating creativity whenever possible.
With trust, mutual respect, and commitment, I work to create a solution-oriented environment that is affirming and supportive. I especially appreciate working to assist individuals in developing or reclaiming a sense of agency in their lives. I treat our work as private, unique, and considerate of individual and cultural differences.
You may be looking for something specific, or maybe you are here without a clear or identifiable reason but have thought about seeing a therapist for a while. If you’re interested in a consultation to see if we may be a good fit, please drop me a message. Wishing you well in your search.
