I have often been excitedly told by prior clients that I'm "different" from previous therapists that they have worked with & that they feel comfortable with me - and trust me - quickly...I also believe that I am different from the "traditional" or "stereotypical" therapist in many ways! This could be because I am less "formal" or "buttoned up", creating a relaxed environment & my sense of humility puts others at ease in an environment that can often feel very vulnerable and intimidating. Your feelings of comfort and emotional safety are my number 1 priority as we begin to build our therapeutic relationship.

My ideal client is someone who struggles with anxiety and putting themselves last on their list. They love deeply and try so hard not to be a burden. Unfortunately, that's how they see themselves, as a burden. The truth is though, when we really look at it, they are carrying all the burdens. I'll share the weight and empower you as you make the changes in your life that will set you free of the weight you are under. Your relationships will improve, your confidence will return, and you will experience the strength I already know is there!
