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!

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships, family or life events. I have also worked with clients struggling with OCD and anxiety. My goal is for my clients to see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I also have utilized trauma enforced therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and finally dialectical behavioral therapy.
