My office is a space where all are welcome to come work through what is needed in order to reach healthier and happier days. I am most drawn to working with those dealing with anxiety, trauma and attachment issues, as well as adolescents and emerging young adults. Additionally, if you are skeptical of or have had a negative past experience with therapy, I enjoy creating reparative experiences for individuals. I want to meet you where you are at in order to help you feel heard and evoke a sense of hope.
I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and disarming environment in which clients can work through the pain attached to their darkest days. I like to use creative interventions and strategies and incorporate humor and levity throughout my sessions when appropriate while using theoretical frameworks and interventions specific to each client.
I enjoy supporting clients in having "aha moments" and watching the lightness and clarity that comes over them as negative or unhelpful thinking patterns are shifted to be more balanced and overall healthier behaviors are established. If you think there is even a chance that you or your child could be ready for that process, please reach out!

My initial sessions involve three components. First is rapport building, as I believe relationship development between therapist and client and establishing a safe space is key to successful outcomes. Second is information gathering through a structured interview. This will help me understand your background, history, and concerns. Third, we identify goals and hopes... and away we go!

I like to take a client-centered approach and draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches based on the need of the client. Typically, interwoven with other strategies, I find Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) techniques to be universally useful; shifting unhelpful thinking patterns in order to drive change in both mood and behavior.
