Taking the first step towards making a change can be an intimidating process. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or are going through a challenging life event, I provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where we can explore and work towards your individual goals.
I use an integrative theoretical approach with my clients, meaning that I take into account that every client and situation is different and must be treated as so.
The therapy approaches I frequently use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Based, Person Centered, and Solution Focused Therapy.With a little bit of humor and a lot of compassion we can work together to move through challenges and towards what you want more of in life.
