I approach the therapeutic relationship through a trauma focused lens, often utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Theory, and mindfulness.
I believe every person has value and deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship can be beneficial in assisting you to reach the goals and desires you have for your life. I believe you are capable of not only addressing some of the tough things that brought you here, but thriving in a life you love. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.

Have you looked in the mirror and asked yourself, "How did I get here?" “Who can I trust?” “How did my life change so quickly that I can't even recognize myself anymore?" "Am I Crazy?" "I Want to be Happy?" Problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Real problems start and end with the mirror image we see daily. Often the mirror image is silent but dying to speak and live life again. Issues in life start with the inability to be heard, believed in, and understood. I believe the best way to find you again, is to find your voice.

Anxiety, depression, and existential dread make living incredibly difficult by yourself. Clients often struggle with putting emotions into words, feeling seen or heard by those around them, and often think that they are the problem. These clients come seeking a way to change themselves if they are unable to affect visible change in their environment; coming to learn coping skills and feel like they are not dealing with these fears alone.
