I believe therapy shouldn't feel like something being 'done' to you. Instead, I see it as an opportunity to build a relationship based on authenticity and earned trust. In our work together, we will focus on uncovering and fostering the strengths, skills and values that you feel best represent and support you to be the person you are most proud to become. Whether you’re experiencing challenges related to anxiety, depression, grief, difficult life transitions, burnout or more, my approach is built on a foundation of curiosity with a goal of identifying the ways you would like to become and already are the true owner of your story.
While my approach is grounded in narrative therapy, I also draw from other evidence-based treatment approaches (DBT, SFBT, CBT) that focus on developing practical tools and strategies to navigate emotional intensity, build healthier relationships, and respond more effectively to the challenges that arise in daily life.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. If you have any questions, are curious about what to expect or feel like you might be interested in working together, I would be happy to meet with you for a free 15 minute consultation.
