I take a person-centered approach in that the client is the expert on their lives, and the therapist guides them towards better mental health.
My ideal client would be a child, adolescent, or adult with a degree of insight/self-awareness into their presenting issues and motivation to improve their mental health. My most prominent diagnoses specialties include anxiety and depression. I enjoy working with clients on interpersonal problems, building coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and changing mindset/ thought patterns. My ideal client's goals include increasing a sense of peace and acceptance, working towards change, and developing healthier habits to improve wellbeing. A client who wants to change and be a better version of themselves is willing to be challenged.

My sessions have humanistic and person-centered undertones.
I thrive when working with young women. Whether they’re struggling with school-related stress or struggling to process a breakup, I can quickly build rapport with folks in this demographic. My treatment plans include goals dedicated to helping people identify their triggers for emotional dysregulation. I believe in the importance of somatic and cognitive level wellness strategies and work to have my clients learn and implement both sets of skills. I have enjoyed working with a variety of diagnoses, including adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD.

My ideal client has a desire to heal and change their life. They must approach the counseling journey with openness and curiosity. It does not matter what issues or needs they bring to me because together, we can make magic happen and their goals and desires come to fruition. The most important thing is again that willingness and desire to change.

My ideal client is one who is willing to explore uncomfortable areas in their life and understand that vulnerability is part of the process. One of the most important parts of therapy to me is highlighting accountability and what roles we play in our own lives. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, irrational thinking, and life adjustments. A client who can pinpoint what they would like to improve in their life and request a little bit of guidance along the way is an ideal client. Their goal is not to be perfect but to improve their day-to-day life a little more each day.

Does perfectionism have you burnt out on life? Have you been people-pleasing so long that you don't have any idea what you like? Do you often second-guess yourself and doubt your capabilities? It is not easy to live this way, and anxiety and depression often accompany it. I can help you find your core self, give that part of you a voice, and live from that place to help you live a peaceful, joy-filled life.

Are you tired of experiencing the same patterns and want to heal at the root of your symptoms? I specialize in treating trauma, addictions, and self esteem issues - in particularly with women and teenagers. When my clients first come in, their lives are overrun by fear and insecurities. They carry around deep shame about who they are and never feel quite “good enough”. They want to be confident and heal the patterns that are holding them back but do not know where to start.
