Does life keep knocking you down and you feel like you can't find traction or gather the strength to stand? It's like no matter what you do, you just can't get ahead. Maybe you're frustrated. You might be feeling a lot of other heavy emotions too. Or did you have some things happen that you feel like you haven't been able to get over/begin processing and you feel the constant weight of it? If any of this sounds like you or similar to what you may be experiencing, I'm really glad you're here!
Therapy can look different and meet different needs for everyone. For some, it could be having access to an unbiased ear or nonjudgmental space to vent. For others, it could be having a trusted and knowledgeable confidante in their corner for added support and guidance. No matter what you're looking for or looking to get out of therapy, you're worth it.
Your mental health deserves the same respect, care, and attention as the rest of you - especially in difficult times. This is where therapy can come in. I utilize both traditional and non-traditional techniques/approaches to be able to meet you wherever you may be at. So if you're looking for a place to start, reach out and let's chat!

I work with individuals who may be experiencing difficulty with managing their mental health. This could be related to past/ongoing trauma, stress, life changes, grief, family or relational conflict, etc. Initial sessions with me are based on YOUR pace/comfort. I strive to build rapport and get to know each other while exploring more surface-level information before delving into the deeper issues.

I typically utilize elements of CBT/DBT, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation during my first few sessions. After gathering initial information and assessing goals/what you would like to get out of therapy, I begin to personalize and cater my approach with additional modalities dependent upon your individual wants/needs.
