My goal as your therapist is to help you create a life worth living. While we cannot change your past, we can work together to create a better today and a brighter future. Regardless, of where you are in life or what your circumstances may be, I offer unconditional acceptance, so that you can feel safe to share your story without fear of judgment.
I emphasize a strengths-based and client-centered approach to therapy while utilizing a variety of theoretical perspectives including cognitive-behavioral, family systems, brief- supportive, solution-focused, trauma-focused, EMDR, among others. Therapies, techniques, and goals are tailored to you.
In therapy, we will work together to help you create a renewed sense of self and the world around you. I will meet you where you are in your journey by respecting your need to move at a pace that feels safe and comfortable. I will be present to support the journey of discovery and adaptive change.
