There are many times in our lives when we feel stuck and unable to find relief. I strive to be guiding light in your therapeutic process. I provide a safe, affirming, and supportive space for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, which means I meet each client with empathy, respect, and authenticity. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel empowered to explore your experiences and grow at your own pace.
At Driftwood Psychotherapy, together let's create an environment where you feel heard, understood, and supported.
My specialities when meeting my clients are person centered therapy. I enjoy providing a space where clients can be themselves judgment free! I also specialize in OCD, anxiety and trauma.
Please feel free to reach out to me at your earliest convenience. I have lots of availability and would love to start your therapy journey with you!
