I am a compassionate social worker providing therapy to clients struggling with challenging life experiences. It can be difficult to cope when experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflict or low self-confidence. It takes courage to reach out for help and I provide a safe and supportive space. Together, we can focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable life challenges. I have several years of experience working with adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, shame and guilt, interpersonal conflict, and substance use and other mental health concerns.
My therapeutic approach is trauma informed and I provide a safe environment for clients. I have trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Trauma, Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Addictions. I can help you gain insight into the connection between your past and present experiences and how these impact your daily life. Together, we can work on your wellness.
I will always approach our sessions with kindness and compassion. I understand that ultimately you are the expert in your own life, so I am collaborative throughout the therapy process. Together we can develop your wellness plan. I invite you to book a free 15 minute consultation with me to see if we can be a good fit in therapy together.
