Taking the leap into therapy can be scary, and finding a therapist that fits your needs can be overwhelming. I am here to make that process a little bit easier and more comfortable. My goal as a therapist is to meet each person where they are on their journey, by recognizing and understanding their reasons for coming to therapy. Whether it be difficulties with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, negative body image, eating disorders, or trauma, I’m here to help support you as you navigate these concerns. I want for you to leave therapy with the growth and tools that you are looking for.
My experience is working with adolescents, adults, and couples. I work from a person-centered framework, while including principles from other treatment modalities such as DBT, ACT, ERP, the Gottman Method & CBT. I base my treatment style on the needs of the client, creating unique treatment plans tailored to each individual person.
In my practice, I strive to create a safe, warm environment where clients feel welcomed to be themselves and explore who they are. I place strong value on human connection, and have a genuine curiosity about people and what makes them who they are. I view therapy as a journey of growth, and would love to have the privilege of joining you on that journey.
