About me
Nothing is more rewarding than helping people acknowledge and utilize their natural capacity to heal, survive, overcome, and thrive. The therapy hour typically feels less like a chore and more like having a genuine, present experience where clients have the space to show up exactly as they are and be themselves. We all deserve the time and energy it takes to have a deep and meaningful relationship with ourselves, and it is my privilege to sit alongside my clients as they do this important work.
When I work with clients, I like to create a safe, judgment-free zone where the client feels comfortable talking about anything and everything. I am an empathic, warm, and open-minded person. I like to create a space where clients come in and discuss whatever they want without fear or pressure. I use a combination of therapeutic modalities, such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered. I will recommend coping skills or practice work assignments that clients can do outside of our sessions as needed. I have supported people through anxiety, depression, mood instability, life transitions, domestic violence, day-to-day stressors, and many other concerns. I work toward gaining the client's trust so they feel that I am a professional support here for them to work through any of the life stressors that they may be facing. I also emphasize creating a more balanced life by helping clients discover what self-care practices work for them.
