What makes my therapeutic approach unique is my ability to create a space that feels genuine, grounded, and human. I bring a down-to-earth style to therapy while remaining deeply rooted in Gestalt principles, helping clients focus on what is happening in the here and now. I also use Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, and Cognitive Processing Therapy to achieve goals through evidenced-based practices. I believe awareness is a powerful tool for change, and I work collaboratively with clients to increase insight into patterns, emotions, behaviors, and relationships as they unfold in real time.
I work best with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, substance use disorders, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping clients increase self-awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.
I believe healing is possible, even when life feels heavy or overwhelming. Therapy can be a space where you feel truly seen, challenged in supportive ways, and encouraged to reconnect with your strengths and values. Taking the first step toward support can feel scary, but it can also be the beginning of profound transformation, with me along side.
