I work with individuals navigating mood struggles or life transitions, including children with separation anxiety, young adults coping with breakups, or first-time parents adjusting to new roles. Whether you have clear therapy goals or aren't sure where to begin, I’m here to support you at your own pace. Many of my clients seek therapy to gain clarity, develop coping skills, or build stronger emotional resilience. I also welcome those who feel unsure or skeptical about therapy. It takes courage to reach out, and I’m here to walk with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I can help you by creating the space to share how you feel, without worrying about being judged or feel like you are burdening anyone. I encourage a narrative approach to therapy, where you tell me how you feel, we explore past history, and can use this to gain momentum and learn new skills to do things differently! Therapy is an investment in yourself!
It is my goal to provide a safe space free of judgement and bias for you to feel comfortable sharing parts of your life story with me. I promise to conduct therapy sessions with kindness and compassion, drawing on evidence based therapeutic techniques in conjunction with my clinical expertise and your values and goals to guide our therapy sessions.
