Life can be a challenge! Therapy is a space to explore and examine behavioral patterns, relational dynamics, and therapeutic goals in a supportive, safe, and nurturing atmosphere. Each client comes to therapy with a toolbox. Tools, also known as "coping strategies," are a helping hand to assist during stressful and troubling times. When tools are in your toolbox, the better you can manage the stressors of everyday life and significant life events. As your therapist, I help strengthen your existing tools while adding a few more to your toolbox.
