Welcome to the journey of personal growth and self-empowerment. Congratulations on taking this first step towards a healthier version of you. The process of finding the right therapist is important and often can feel overwhelming. I am here to support you through this process. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for support, and I consider it a privilege to be entrusted with your life experiences.
My approach to treatment begins with connecting with you in a comforting, warm and safe environment. My focus is on establishing a collaborative connection to help you learn new coping skills, build autonomy, gain a greater sense of self-worth and enhance healthy relationships in your daily life. While working with you, I practice empathy, validation, realism and humor. To meet your needs, I take a person-centered approach and use a variety of therapies, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), strength based perspective and motivational interviewing.
I have experience working with teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families in inpatient, outpatient and private practice settings. I am passionate about helping my clients identify strengths, gain greater self-awareness and develop tools to overcome challenges that block the opportunity to feel satisfaction in all aspects of life. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationships, grief and loss, parenting, addiction and trauma.
My experiences as a therapist have shown me that you can make small doable shifts that lead to remarkable changes in your life. If you are ready to do the work, you will be amazed how capable you are in exploring parts of yourself you never knew existed. The process of therapy can allow you to grow more quickly than you ever have before. I will consider it a gift to be part of this journey in your life.
