Therapy can be an empowering process. You can be heard and validated, and you can learn practical skills for reducing distress, improving your mood, and handling stressful situations. In a safe, non-judgmental environment, you have the opportunity to explore your needs, be yourself, and process past trauma. I tend to approach therapy as collaborative and somewhat structured, but it's important to customize sessions and strategies to each client because everyone is unique.

My psychotherapy practice is virtual, but here's what my office looks like. Clients can expect to see the painting and safe space sticker behind me.

I offer a safe space where you can identify and express your feelings, work through past experiences, try new coping strategies, and practice managing your symptoms. My clients gain insight, resources, useful skills, and most importantly, they build confidence in their ability to manage their own mental health.

My lived experience as a consumer of mental health services allows me to go beyond academic knowledge. It enhances my empathy for what you're going through, and I'm dedicated to providing you with a high quality of care. If you're looking for a therapist who is highly trained, highly relatable, and nerdy about psychology, I may be the right fit!

CBT strategies involve learning how thoughts and interpretations of situations influence your feelings and actions.
