I am open to working with all people, cultures and concerns.

My approach in therapy is to provide a client centered approach to support the individual to achieve their goals through a strength-based, solution focused approach, utilizing an attachment lens. We each have a unique upbringing and are influenced by our past. I have been working in the social work field for over 10 years.

Life is journey that leads us down many different roads. At times we find ourselves in front of a road block that stops that journey and interferes with our ability to move forward on our path. This feeling can often leave us overwhelmed, stressed and disheartened.

My goal is to help others through their "normal" and overcome any life challenges they may be facing at this point in their lives. I am straightforward and non-judgmental in my approach. I will always collaborate and use evidenced-based tools to support my clients growth, but also my own growth. I believe we all struggle in one way or another and it can range from everyday anxiety to long-term compounded trauma. This is where I come in; to help you gain the skills to navigate it with confidence.

I believe that choosing to engage in therapy is one of the bravest acts that one can do for themselves. It requires a person to acknowledge and confront potentially painful experiences and negative core beliefs that can have become foundational. Therapy can help to establish a healthier foundation. I strive to develop a therapeutic relationship by cultivating collaboration, encouraging vulnerability, challenging avoidance, and acknowledging how difficult all of this can be to navigate. I view myself, and the therapy space, as a container in which to foster change and I approach every client with empathy, curiosity and compassion.
