We aren't meant to fit into boxes. I believe that you are the expert of yourself and that my role is to help you explore whatever you bring in a nonjudgmental way with awareness, curiosity, and support. What brings you here today? Sometimes we seek therapy because we need someone to listen without judgment. Other times, we may feel that we have lost ourselves, or are trying to figure out who we want to be going forward. While there is no magic wand to get there in an instant, my practice style is to come alongside you and hold a safe space for you on your therapeutic journey.
I offer an integrative approach and believe everyone should be welcome to be themselves. I work with a range of ages and backgrounds, including those experiencing depression, anxiety, transitions, family issues, low self-esteem, as well as survivors of trauma. I have completed trauma trainings to support your experience and am always seeking new research.
Before training to be a therapist, I worked 10 years as an editor to help writers find and hone their voices. My background helped me develop into the therapist I am, and I offer an accepting, empathetic, and safe environment that is unique to you. Reaching out can feel like a big step to some, and I wish you the best whenever you decide to do so.
