Therapy is a unique process, one that aims to guide you through challenges and roadblocks, helping you move towards a healthier and more meaningful life. My goal is to create a space where growth is safe and cultivated. Using an evidence-based approach, I work to help you gain awareness of your emotional experience, working to understand the way you experience and interact with the world. I help you explore parts of yourself you may not be completely comfortable with, learning to tolerate the discomfort that surfaces during this process. I challenge clients to try something different, encouraging a more intentional approach.

Are you navigating through personal or relationship issues that are holding you back from living the life you want? Perhaps you are seeking to learn tools and strategies to feel less anxious or depressed. Maybe you seek a space to tackle the barriers that are keeping you stuck and preventing you from achieving your goals. You may have tried on your own to fix what is troubling you but it has been difficult to find relief. I know starting therapy can seem intimidating, but sometimes the healing process simply starts by showing up and investing in yourself.

As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.
