My approach to therapy is both person-centered and integrative as I believe it is important for us to develop a strong therapeutic relationship while also considering your specific needs.
Each of us have a unique story that reflects our life experiences and helps to shape our perspective of the world around us and how we view ourselves. Therapy is an opportunity to explore and understand your life story, heal from painful emotions, identify and build upon your strengths, and create lasting change to improve your overall sense of well-being. As your therapist, I aim to foster a warm, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where you feel safe to engage in self-exploration and reach your goals.

I am a person-centered cognitive behavior therapist, and by helping you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and choices are connected, I can help you find balance and calm.
You may have heard "the only person who can make you happy is you," but it's also true that you do not exist alone in this world. I strongly believe every person deserves to feel seen and heard and that this is essential for health. At the same time, understanding how you arrive at a feeling by tracking your inner thoughts and exploring past experiences will help you feel more in control. Instead of blaming others for your feelings or waiting for someone to rescue you from them, I want to empower you to be your own best emotional guide and healer. I offer a listening ear and safe space for exploration.
