I want my clients to know that, in therapy, we create a safe space for them to comfortably be their authentic selves. I believe that everyone has gifts and strengths that they can access, with support, to heal and progress. Circumstances, diagnoses or life events do not define an individual. Change is difficult and uncomfortable, but it is also essential for growth. I meet the client where they are and pursue an integrative, solution-focused approach, tempered with patience, empathy and a sense of humor.
I'm a skilled Behavioral Therapist with 5+ years of experience helping clients who have debilitating social and emotional issues, including but not limited to anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem, become efficient at dealing with daily challenges including stressful personal, work and family situations.
If you are struggling with self-doubt, feeling misunderstood, unaccepted, and/or suffering from anxiety that is interfering with your ability to move ahead in life, I understand because I have been there too. Together, we can take a look at what gets in the way and develop strategies to help you overcome your struggles and live your best life.
