I'm a trauma-informed/trained therapist; I'm here to support you through your most vulnerable and emotionally exhausting times. I utilize CBT; Psychodynamic methods to help with stressors like ADHD, anxiety, major life; career changes, and relationships. I also have a unique understanding of the stressors that come with working in toxic office environments.
I create a non-judgmental space where you can feel safe working through your needs. You never have to feel like you need to justify or apologize for how you feel or what you said when we're working together. Everyone needs a safe space where it's OK to feel vulnerable, to be yourself, and to know that someone is on your side.
